'H' = height at any time
'T' = time after both actions
'G' = acceleration of gravity
'S' = speed at the beginning of time
Let's call 'up' the positive direction.
Let's assume that the tossed stone is tossed from the ground, not from the tower.

For the stone dropped from the 50m tower:

H = +50 - (1/2) G T²

For the stone tossed upward from the ground:

H = +20T - (1/2) G T²

When the stones' paths cross, their <em>H</em>eights are equal.

50 - (1/2) G T² = 20T - (1/2) G T²

Wow !  Look at that !  Add (1/2) G T² to each side of that equation,
and all we have left is:

50 = 20T  Isn't that incredible ? ! ?

Divide each side by 20 :

<u>2.5 = T</u>

The stones meet in the air 2.5 seconds after the drop/toss.

I want to see something: 
What is their height, and what is the tossed stone doing, when they meet ?

Their height is  +50 - (1/2) G T² = 19.375 meters

The speed of the tossed stone is  +20 - (1/2) G T = +7.75 m/s ... still moving up.
I wanted to see whether the tossed stone had reached the peak of the toss,
and was falling when the dropped stone overtook it.  The answer is no ... the
dropped stone was still moving up at 7.75 m/s when it met the dropped one.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

\theta = 76.9 degree

Explanation:

As we know that the resultant of two vectors is given as

R = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2 + 2F_1 F_2 cos\theta

here we know that

R = 87 Lb

F_1 = 41 Lb

F_2 = 68 Lb

now we have

87 = \sqrt{41^2 + 68^2 + 2(41)(68)cos\theta

87^2 = 6305 + 5576 cos\theta

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1264}{5576})

\theta = 76.9 degree

A rock, with a density of 3.55 g/cm^3 and a volume of 470 cm^3, is thrown in a lake. a) What is the weight of the rock out of th
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

a) Weight of the rock out of the water = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = 11.76 N

Explanation:

a) Mass of the rock out of the water = Volume x Density

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density = 3.55 g/cm³

   Mass = 470 x 3.55 = 1668.5 g = 1.6685 kg

   Weight of the rock out of the water = 1.6685 x 9.81 = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = Volume x Density of liquid x Acceleration due to gravity.

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density of liquid = 1 g/cm³

   \texttt{Buoyancy force}= \frac{470\times 1\times 9.81}{1000} = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = Volume of body x Density of liquid

   Mass of the water displaced = 470 x 1 = 470 g = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = Weight of the rock out of the water - Buoyancy force

   Weight of rock under water = 16.37 - 4.61  =11.76 N

1) The potential energy is the most at the highest position and the least at the equilibrium position

2) The kinetic energy is the most at the equilibrium position and  the least at the highest position

Explanation:

1)

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field; mathematically, it is given by

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the strength of the gravitational field

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the pendulum in this problem, m is the mass of the bob, and h is the height of the above relative to the ground. We see from the formula that the potential energy is directly proportional to the height:

PE\propto h

This means that:

  • The potential energy is the most when the bob is at the highest position
  • The potential energy is the least when the bob is at the equilibrium position,  which is the lowest position

2)

We can solve this part by applying the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the total mechanical energy of the pendulum (sum of potential and kinetic energy) is constant at any time during the motion,

E=KE+PE=const.

where KE is the kinetic energy.

From the equation above, we observe that:

  • When PE is maximum, KE must be at minimum
  • When PE is minimum, KE must be maximum

Therefore, this implies that:

  • The kinetic energy is the most when the potential energy is the least, i.e. at the equilibrium position
  • The kinetic energy is the least when the potential energy is the most, i.e. at the highest position
