Answer:
33.2 m
Explanation:
For the first object:
y₀ = 81.5 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 0 s
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
y = 81.5 − 4.9t²
For the second object:
y₀ = 0 m
v₀ = 40.0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 2.20 s
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
y = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²
When they meet:
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40(t−2.2) − 4.9(t−2.2)²
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9 (t² − 4.4t + 4.84)
81.5 − 4.9t² = 40t − 88 − 4.9t² + 21.56t − 23.716
81.5 = 61.56t − 111.716
193.216 = 61.56t
t = 3.139
The position at that time is:
y = 81.5 − 4.9(3.139)²
y = 33.2
Answer:
m1/m2 = 0.51
Explanation:
First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:
V = √F/u
This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.
the value of "u" is:
u = m/L
Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.
Now, for the rod 1:
V1 = √F/u1 (1)
rod 2:
V2 = √F/u2 (2)
Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:
1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)
Replacing (2) in (3):
1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)
Now, let's solve the equation 4:
[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1
1.96(F/u2) =F/u1
1.96F = F*u2/u1
1.96 = u2/u1 (5)
Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:
1.96 = m2/L / m1/L
1.96 = m2/m1 (6)
But we need m1/m2 so:
1.96m1 = m2
m1/m2 = 1/1.96
m1/m2 = 0.51
