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!

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

f = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

f' = frequency observed when the car moves = (0.86)f

V = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

v = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}

(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}
