A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts help.

when she has fallen for 3.0 s , she hears the echo of her shout from the valley floor below. the speed of sound is 340 m/s.

Answer:

H = 532 m

Explanation:

When teacher falls into the cliff then she shout for Help at the same time

so here we know that sound will go down and reflect back up

so here in 3 s distance traveled by the sound

d = vt

d = 340 \times 3

d = 1020 m

now in the same time the distance that teacher will fall down is given as

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(3^2)

d_1 = 44.1 m

now total distance traveled by teacher and sound in 3 s

d_{total} = d + d_1

d_{total} = 1020 + 44.1

this total distance must be equal to twice the height of the cliff

2H = 1064.1 m

H = 532 m

Answer:

(a). The height of the cliff from which the teacher falls is \boxed{532.05\,{\text{m}}}.

(b). The speed of the teacher just before hitting the ground will be  \boxed{102.12\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

Further Explanation:

Since the teacher listens to the her own sound of shout after 3\,{\text{s}}, therefore, the sound covers the twice the distance of height of the cliff minus the distance covered by the teacher in  .

Part (a):

The distance covered by the teacher in 3\,\sec is:

 s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}g{t^2}    …… (1)                                          

Since the teacher fall from rest, substitute initial velocity to be zero and time to be  .

 \begin{aligned}s&= \left( {0 \times 3} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times {\left( 3 \right)^2} \\&= 44.1\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

Write the expression for the height of the cliff.

 2H - s = v \times t        …… (2)                                      

Here, H is the height of the cliff, v is the speed of sound and t is the time taken by the sound to travel.

The speed of the sound is 340\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}  and it takes 3\,{\text{s}}  to reach the teacher.

Substitute the values in the equation (2).

 \begin{aligned}2H - 44.1 &= 340 \times3\\H&= \frac{{1020 + 44.1}}{2}\,{\text{m}}\\&= {\text{532}}{\text{.05}}\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the height of the cliff from which the teacher falls is \boxed{532.05\,{\text{m}}}.

Part (b):

The teacher falls down the cliff for a height of 532.05\,{\text{m}}. The speed attained by the teacher as she falls is given by:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2aH     …… (3)                                        

The teachers falls with zero velocity under the gravity for a height of 532.05\,{\text{m}}.

Substitute the values in equation (3).

 \begin{gathered}v_f^2 &= {\left( 0 \right)^2} + 2\left( {9.8} \right)\left( {532.05} \right)\\{v_f}&= \sqrt {10428.18} \,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\&=102.12\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{gathered}

Thus, the speed of the teacher just before hitting the ground will be \boxed{102.12\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}} .

A rocket is launched from Earth (mass ME, radius RE) with velocity v° and reaches radial distance r=6RE with velocity v°/10. Exp
Aliun [14]

The velocity, expressed in terms of  ME, RE is given as V_0 = \sqrt{98.99R_E}.

The maximum height that the rocket could reach if launched vertically is H = (¹/₂v₀²)/g.

<h3>Maximum height of the rocket</h3>

The maximum height reached by the rocket can be modeled using conservation of energy as shown below;

P.Ei + K.Ei = K.Ef + P.Ef

M_EgR_E + \frac{1}{2} M_EV_0^2= \frac{1}{2} M_E(\frac{V_o}{10} )^2+ M_Eg(6R_E)\\\\\frac{1}{2} M_EV_0^2 - \frac{1}{2} M_E(\frac{V_o}{10} )^2 = M_Eg(6R_E) - M_EgR_E\\\\0.495M_EV_0^2= 5gM_ER_E\\\\0.495V_0^2= 5gR_E\\\\V_0 = \sqrt{\frac{5gR_E}{0.495} } \\\\V_0 = \sqrt{98.99R_E}

<h3>Maximum height when it is launched vertically</h3>

P.E = K.E

mgH = ¹/₂mv²

H = (¹/₂v₀²)/g
