Question

A Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2 + 2az. The problem requires solving for z , and the known values for the system are a 2.55 meter/second, to = 21.8 meter/second, and u = 0 meter/second. Perform the next step in the analysis

Answer 1

Answer:

  z = 93.2 m

Explanation:

We can appreciate that this expression is equivalent to the linear motion equation with constant acceleration

           v² = v₀² + 2 a d

If we make a term-to-term comparison with the expression obtained, they are equivalent

          u² = v² + 2 a z

From here we can clear the position

           2 a z = u² –v²

           z = (u² –v²) / 2 a

Let's calculate

For the speed to reduce the acceleration must be negative

         

         z = (0 - 21.8²) / 2(- 2.55)

         z = 93.2 m
