The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22
alexgriva [62]
1) The law of motion of the projectile is
h(t) = 2+22.5 t-4.9 t^2
To find the velocity, we should compute the derivative of h(t):
v(t)=h'(t)=22.5-2\cdot 4.9t=22.5-9.8t
So now we can calculate the speed at t=2 s and t=4 s:
v(2.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot2.0 =2.9 m/s
v(4.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.0s=-16.7 m/s
The negative sign in the second speed means the projectile has already reached its maximum height and it is now going downward.

2) The projectile reaches its maximum height when the speed is equal to zero:
v(t)=0
So we have
22.5-9.8 t=0
And solving this we find
t=2.30 s

3) To find the maximum height, we take h(t) and we just replace t with the time at which the projectile reaches the maximum height, i.e. t=2.30 s:
h(2.30 s)=2+22.5\cdot 2.30 -4.9 \cdot (2.30s)^2 = 27.83 m

4) The time at which the projectile hits the ground is the time at which the height is zero: h(t)=0. So, this translates into
2+22.5t -4.9 t^2 = 0
This is a second-order equation, and if we solve it we get two solutions: the first solution is negative, so we can ignore it since it's physically meaningless; the second solution is
t=4.68 s
And this is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

5) The velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground is the velocity at time t=4.68 s:
v(4.68 s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.68 =-23.36  m/s
with negative sign, because it is directed downward.

If your brakes give out, why can't you just pull the keys out of the ignition?
Pachacha [2.7K]

There should be a small amount of play in the wheel when the steering is locked. Gently pull the key from the ignition while you slowly jiggle the steering wheel back and forth. If this is the cause of the problem, the key should come out after a little effort.

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water


<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
