Answer:
The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.
Explanation:
Given that,
A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m
The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s
We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :
So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
θ = 12.95º
Explanation:
For this exercise it is best to separate the process into two parts, one where they collide and another where the system moves altar the maximum height
Let's start by finding the speed of the bar plus clay ball system, using amount of momentum
The mass of the bar (M = 0.080 kg) and the mass of the clay ball (m = 0.015 kg) with speed (v₀ = 2.0 m / s)
Initial before the crash
p₀ = m v₀
Final after the crash before starting the movement
= (m + M) v
p₀ =
m v₀ = (m + M) v
v = v₀ m / (m + M)
v = 2.0 0.015 / (0.015 +0.080)
v = 0.316 m / s
With this speed the clay plus bar system comes out, let's use the concept of conservation of mechanical energy
Lower
Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²
Higher
= U = (m + M) g y
Em₀ =
½ (m + M) v² = (m + M) g y
y = ½ v² / g
y = ½ 0.316² / 9.8
y = 0.00509 m
Let's look for the angle the height from the pivot point is
L = 0.40 / 2 = 0.20 cm
The distance that went up is
y = L - L cos θ
cos θ = (L-y) / L
θ = cos⁻¹ (L-y) / L
θ = cos⁻¹-1 ((0.20 - 0.00509) /0.20)
θ = 12.95º
