A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels

upward and then downward to the ground at the base of the building. Let +y be upward, and neglect air resistance.For the rock's motion from the roof to the ground, what is the vertical component vav−yvav−y of its average velocity?

Answer:

v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}

And in the case of vertical v_{avg}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

where y_{tot} is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height H with initial velocity v_0 is given by:

y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when y'(t)=0, and it is

t=\frac{v_0}{g}

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2

y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}

y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another t_0 to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0

where t_0 is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2

we solve for t_0 using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

Therefore the total time is

t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}}

Now the average velocity is

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }

\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }

Find the value of F1 + F2 + F3.<br>​
Dovator [93]

Answer:

F = 0.78[N]

Explanation:

The given values correspond to forces, we must remember or take into account that the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and direction. Since we have two X-Y coordinate axes (two-dimensional), we are going to decompose each of the forces into the X & y components.

<u>For F₁</u>

<u />F_{y}=2[N]<u />

<u>For F₂</u>

F_{x}=2*cos(60)\\F_{x}=1[N]\\F_{y}=-2*sin(60)\\F_{y}=-1.73[N]

<u>For F₃</u>

<u />F_{x}=-1*sin(60)\\F_{x}=-0.866[N]\\F_{y}=1*cos(60)\\F_{y}=0.5 [N]<u />

Now we can sum each one of the forces in the given axes:

F_{x}=1-0.866=0.134[N]\\F_{y}=2-1.73+0.5\\F_{y}=0.77[N]

Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the total force.

F=\sqrt{(0.134)^{2} +(0.77)^{2}}\\F= 0.78[N]
