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

Answer:

The neutral wire is often confused with ground wire, but in reality, they serve two distinct purposes. Neutral wires carry currents back to power source to better control and regulate voltage. Its overall purpose is to serve as a path to return energy.
