A rock is thrown directly upward from the edge of a flat roof of a building that is 56.3 meters tall. The rock misses the buildi

ng on its way down, and is observed to strike the ground 4.00 seconds after being thrown. Neglect air resistance.
With what speed was the rock thrown?
How high did the rock travel in the reference frame of the thrower?

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = -56.3 m

It strikes the ground 4.00 seconds after being thrown.

Using second equation of motion to find the speed was the rock thrown. So,

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, a = -g

$d=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\-56.3=u(4)-4.9(4)^2\\\\-56.3=4u-78.4\\\\u=5.52\ m/s$

Let it will cover a distance of s meters. So,

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{-2g}\\\\s=\dfrac{0^2-(5.52)^2}{-2\times 9.8}\\\\s=1.55\ m$

How do you convert mass to weight and visa versa

Darina [25.2K]

To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at time t = 0.0 s, w a velocity of 30 m/s. The acceleration due to grav

Vinvika [58]

<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

$V=V_{o}-g.t$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the rock's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the rock's initial position

$V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s}$ is the rock's initial velocity

$V$ is the final velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know $y_{o}=0$ , equation (2) is rewritten as:

$y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height is accomplished when $V=0$ :

$V=V_{o}-g.t=0$ (4)

$V_{o}-g.t=0$

$V_{o}=g.t$ (5)

Finding $t$ :

$t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

$y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}$ (7)

$y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}$ (8) Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

$y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Finally:

$y_{max}=277.777m$

Some miners wish to remove water from a mine shaft. A pipe is lowered to the water 90 m below, and a negative pressure is applie

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Pipe is lowered to the water $h=90\ m$

Negative Pressure is applied to raise the water

Pressure is given by

$P=\rho gh$

where $P=pressure$

$\rho =Density$

$h=depth$

$P=10^3\times 9.8\times 90$

$P=8.82\times 10^{5}\ N/m^2\approx 8.82\ atm$

(b)8.82 atm is much lower than the vapor pressure of water

(c)The fact of applying a negative pressure of 8.74 below the vapor pressure of water

Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation: The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.

What is a conductor

Soloha48 [4]

C. none of the above

An electrical conductor is a substance in which electrical charge carriers, usually electrons, move easily from atom to atom with the application of voltage. Conductivity, in general, is the capacity to transmit something, such as electricity or heat. ... Copper, steel, gold, aluminum, and brass are also good conductors.
