Answer:
a) about 20.4 meters high
b) about 4.08 seconds
Explanation:
Part a)
To find the maximum height the ball reaches under the action of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2) use the equation that connects change in velocity over time with acceleration.
In our case, the initial velocity of the ball as it leaves the hands of the person is Vi = 20 m/s, while thw final velocity of the ball as it reaches its maximum height is zero (0) m/s. Therefore we can solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the top:
Now we use this time in the expression for the distance covered (final position Xf minus initial position Xi) under acceleration:
Part b) Now we use the expression for distance covered under acceleration to find the time it takes for the ball to leave the person's hand and come back to it (notice that Xf-Xi in this case will be zero - same final and initial position)
To solve for "t" in this quadratic equation, we can factor it out as shown:
Therefore there are two possible solutions when each of the two factors equals zero:
1) t= 0 (which is not representative of our case) , and
2) the expression in parenthesis is zero:
Answer:
The answer is 2,416 m/s. Let's jump in.
Explanation:
We do work with the amount of energy we can transfer to objects. According to energy theory:
W = ΔE
Also as we know W = F.x
We choose our reference point as a horizontal line at the block's rest point.<u> At the rest, block doesn't have kinetic energy</u> and <u>since it is on the reference point(as we decided) it also has no potential energy.</u>
Under the force block gains;
W = F.x →
In the second position block has both kinetic and potential energy. Following the law of conservation of energy;
W = ΔE = Kinetic energy + Potantial Energy
W = ΔE =
Here we can find h in the triangle i draw in the picture using sine theorem;
