A stone is thrown from the top of a building 30m high. If it strikes the ground at an angle 45, with what speed was it thrown?

Physics

Answer:

24.2 m/s

Explanation:

The stone strikes the ground at an angle of 45 degrees: this means that its vertical velocity is equal (in magnitude) to its horizontal velocity, in fact:

tan \theta = \frac{|v_y|}{v_x}\\tan 45^{\circ} = 1 \rightarrow |v_y| = v_x

The motion along the vertical direction is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the final vertical velocity using the following suvat equation

v_y^2 -u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the final vertical velocity

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the stone is thrown horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (we take downward as positive direction)

s = 30 m is the vertical displacement

Solving for vy,

v_y = \sqrt{u_y^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(30)}=24.2 m/s

This means that the horizontal velocity is also 24.2 m/s: and since the horizontal velocity is constant during the whole motion (there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction), this means that the stone was thrown exactly at 24.2 m/s.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 6 m/s to 14 m/s in a period of 2 s. What is your acceleration? m/s2
saveliy_v [14]
4.5m/s you count the number between 6 and 14 and get 9 do 9 divided by 2 and you get 4.5 m/s increase. hope this helps.

A person sitting still in a moving airplane is considered to be... (SP1a) a. Motionless in relation to everything in the plane.
vichka [17]

Answer:

C. Both a and b

Explanation:

Firstly, persons and objects in a moving plane as described in this question, are moving at the same speed as the plane even if there is no individual movement of these objects.

However, this question describes a person sitting still in a moving plane. This means that;

- The person is motionless in relation to everything in the plane i.e the person is not moving even if other things in the plane are.

- The person is in motion compared to everything on the ground i.e. the person is moving at the same speed as the plane, hence, in comparison with the ground, the person is moving.

Therefore, options A and B are correct

A man drags a 71-kg crate across the floor at a constant velocity by pulling on a strap attached to the bottom of the crate. The
Flura [38]

Answer:

T = 540 N   (to two significant digits)

Explanation:

Let the crate dimension L be from strap attachment to floor contact

Let T be the strap tension

sum moments about the floor contact point to zero

mg[½Lcos25] - Tsin61[Lcos25] + Tcos61[Lsin25] = 0

L is common to all terms, so divides out.

½(71)(9.8)cos25 = T(sin61cos25 - cos61sin25)

T = (71)(9.8)cos25 / (2(sin61cos25 - cos61sin25))

T = 536.428020...
