Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with

aspeed of 16.0 \rm {m/s}; the other is thrown in adirection 30.0^\circ below the horizontal with thesame speed.
Part A
Which stone spends more time in the air?(Neglect air resistance.)
The stone thrown upward
Part B
Which stone lands farther away from the building? (Neglect air resistance.)
They would land in the same spot correct? just at different times...?

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

<u>Part A)</u>

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

  • y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
  • y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
  • v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
  • θ1 is the first angle, 30°
  • θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}              

0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}

0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2} (1)  

For the second stone  

0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}    

0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2} (2)            

 

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}  

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

<u>Part B)</u>

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

<u>First stone</u>

x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}

x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}

<u>Second stone</u>

x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}

x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

aksik [14]

Answer:C) car X

Explanation:

Given

All the cars have identical Engine thus Force Produced by car X will be equal to  Y and Z

and Force=mass\times acceleration

Since Car X is most massive so acceleration associated with it will be minimum

acceleration of car X is minimum thus it will travel farthest
