Answer:

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

Explanation:

The equations that describe the height and velocity of the rock are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the object at time t

y0 = initial height

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² if upward is positive)

v = velocity of the object at time t

We know that at t = 3.40 s, the rock is in your hand again. Then, if we place the origin of the frame of reference at your hand, the position of the rock at 3.40 s is 0 m. Using the equation of the position, we can calculate the initial velocity that we will need to obtain the max-height.

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = v0 · 3.40 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)²

(1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)² ) / 3.40 s = v0

v0 = 16.7 m/s

At max-height, the velocity of the rock is 0. Then, using the equation of velocity we can calculate the time it takes the rock to reach the max-height. With that time, we can calculate the maximum height.

v = v0 + g · t      (at max-height, v = 0)

0 = 16.7 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

- 16.7 m/s /  - 9.8 m/s² = t

t = 1.70 s

Now, using this time in the equation of height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 16.7 m/s · 1.70 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.70 s)²

y = 14.2 m

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

What are 7 examples of potential energy
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

<em>Hewo Otaku Kun Here! (UwU)</em>

Explanation:

1. A rock sitting at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy.

2. Tree branches high up in a tree have potential energy because they can fall to the ground.

3. A stick of dynamite has chemical potential energy that would be released when the activation energy from the fuse comes into contact with the chemicals.

4. The food we eat has chemical potential energy because as our body digests it, it provides us with energy for basic metabolism.

5. A stretched spring in a pinball machine has elastic potential energy and can move the steel ball when released.

6. When a crane swings a wrecking ball up to a certain height, it gains more potential energy and has the ability to crash through buildings.

7. A set of double "A" batteries in a remote control car possess chemical potential energy which can supply electricity to run the car.

<em>happy to help!</em>

The speed at which an object falls and the acceleration at which it falls are
allochka39001 [22]

No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.
