You toss a rock up vertically at an initial speed of 39 feet per second and release it at an initial height of 6 feet. The rock

will remain in the air for _____ seconds. It will reach a maximum height of _____ feet after _____ seconds. Ignore air resistance.
This is the general version of the previous problem. Again, ignore air resistance. Assume a free falling object accelerates at g feet per second. (On Earth, of course, g = 32.) Your answer will be mathematical expressions involving g, V, and H. You toss a rock up vertically at an initial speed of V feet per second and release it at an initial height of H feet. The rock will remain in the air for _____ seconds. It will reach a maximum height of _____ feet after _____ seconds.

Answer:

2.583 s, 29.77 ft and 1.219 s

Explanation:

Using equation of motion and taken the motion upward as positive, also a = g ( acceleration due to gravity) = - 32 fts⁻², V= 39 fts⁻¹ V₁ is final velocity, y is the distance in ft from the ground

H = 6 ft, the height from which it is tossed

V₁ = V + gt = V - gt

at maximum height the body came to rest momentarily V₁ = 0

0 = V - gt

-V = -gt

- 39 / -32 = t

t time to reach maximum height = 1.219 s

To Maximum height reached can be calculated with the formula

V₁² = V² + 2g( y - H) where H is the initial height reached by the tossed rock

where V₁ is the final velocity at maximum height which = 0

0 = V² - 2g(y-H) where y is the distance traveled from the ground

-V² = -2g(y-H)

₋V² / -2g = y-H

(V²/2g) + H = y in ft

(39² / (2 × 32)) + 6

y = 29.77 ft

The total time it will be in air can be calculated with the formula below

y = H + Vt - 0.5gt² from y-H = ut + 0.5at²

0.5gt² - Vt - H = 0 since the body returned to the ground ( y = 0)

0.5gt² - Vt - H = 0

using quadratic formula

- (-V)² ± √ ((-V²) - 4 × 0.5g × -H) / (2 × 0.5 × g)

(V ± √ (V² + 2gH)) ÷ g

substitute the values into the expression

t = (39 + √(39² + (2×-32× 6)))/ 32 or (39 - √ (39² + (2 × -32×6))/ 32

t = (39 + √(1521 +384))/32 = (39 + √1905) / 32  = 2.583 s

t = (39 - √1905) / 32 =  -0.15 s

The will remain in air (V ± √ (V² + 2gH)) / g seconds. It will reach a maximum height of (V²/2g) + H feet after V/g seconds

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law
Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

  • The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.  
  • Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

  • Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.  
  • Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.

A stuntman is being pulled along a rough road at a constant velocity by a cable attached to a moving truck. The cable is paralle
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

715 N

Explanation:

Since the system is moving at a constant velocity, the net force must be 0. The tension on the road is equal and opposite direction with the kinetic friction force created by the road and the stuntman.

Let g = 9.8 m/s2

Gravity and equalized normal force is:

N = P = mg = 107*9.8 = 1048.6 N

Kinetic friction force and equalized tension force on the rope is

T = F_{\mu} = N\mu = 1048.6 * 0.682 = 715.1452 N

inna [77]
They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells
