Answer:

10. m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 3.1 m

y = 0 m

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.4 s

Find: v₀

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3.1 m + v₀ (2.4 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (2.4 s)²

v₀ = 10.47 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the student's initial velocity was 10. m/s.

A rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 m/s from the roof of a building that is 50.0 m above the ground. Assume
Andreyy89

Answer:

(a) 5.7 s

(b) 39 m/s

Explanation:

(a) u = 18 m/s

At the maximum height, the final velocity of ball is zero. lte teh time taken by the ball to go from 50 m height to maximum height is t.

use first equation of motion.

v = u + g t

0 = 18 - 10 x t

t = 1.8 s

Let the maximum height attained by the ball when it thrown from 50 m height is h'.

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h'

0 = 18^2 - 2 x 10 x h'

h' = 16.2 m

Total height from the ground H = h + h' = 50 + 16.2 = 76.2 m

Let t' be the time taken by the ball to hit the ground as it falls from maximum height.

use third equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2 x g t'^2

76.2 = 0 + 1/2 x 10 x t'^2

t' = 3.9 s

Total time taken by the ball to hit the ground = T = t + t' = 1.8 + 3.9 = 5.7 s

(b) Let v be the velocity with which the ball strikes the ground.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g H

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 10 x 76.2

v = 39 m/s

the density of atmosphere (measured in kilograms/meter3) on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases (as meas
statuscvo [17]
The type of relationship between atmospheric density and altitude is therefore inverse relationship. This means an increase in either will decrease the other factor. Density is mass per unit volume, it is difficult to calculate with only altitude 1,291 kilometers given. Else, we could also use temperature and pressure to solve density but they are not provided.
