A rock is thrown at a window that is located 18.0 m above the ground. The rock is thrown at an angle of 40.0° above horizontal.

The rock is thrown from a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 30.0 m/s and experiences no appreciable air resistance. If the rock strikes the window on its upward trajectory, from what horizontal distance from the window was it released?A. 29.8 mB. 27.3 mC. 48.7 mD. 71.6 mE. 53.2 m

Answer:

B) 27.3 m

Explanation:

The rock describes a parabolic path.

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x =  vx*t   Equation (1)

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m/s  

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis  are:

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)    Equation (2)

vfy = v₀y -gt    Equation (3)

Where:  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 30 m/s , at an angle  α=40.0° above the horizontal

v₀x = vx = 30*cos40° = 22.98 m/s

v₀y = 30*sin40° = 19.28 m/s

y₀ = 2m

y =  18.0 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the time (t) it takes for the rock to reach at  18 m above the ground

We replace data in the equation (2)

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)    

(vfy)² = (19.28)² - 2(9.8)(18- 2)

(vfy)² = 371.86 - 313.6

(vfy)² = 58.26

v_{f} = \sqrt{58.26}

vfy = 7.63 m/s

We replace vfy = 7.63 m/s in the equation (2)

vfy = v₀y - gt

7.63 = 19.28 - (9.8)(t)

(9.8)(t) = 11.65

t = 11.65 / (9.8)

t = 1.19 s

Horizontal distance from where the rock was thrown to the window

We replace t = 1.19 s , in the equation (1)

x =  vx*t  

x = (22.98)* ( 1.19 )

x = 27.3 m

If your car tachometer says your engine is moving at 1200 RPM, then what is it's angular velocity in Rad/sec?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

125.66 R/s

Explanation:

First    1200  r / min = 20 r/sec

20 r/s  *  2pi Radians / r = 40 pi Radians / sec = 125.66 R/s

Nick, a 60 kg physics student, wants to go bungee jumping, but doesn't have a bungee cord. He finds a 15 m long, strong spring (
vitfil [10]

Answer:

h = 24.81 m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the student, m = 60 kg

- The length of the spring, L = 15 m

- The spring constant, k = 60 N/m

Find:-

How far below the bridge is he hanging

Solution:-

- First realize that after the student attempts a bungee jump he oscillates violently ( dynamic motion ). After some time all the kinetic energy has been converted to Elastic and gravitational potential energy student is (stationary) and hanging down on one end of the spring.

- We will apply equilibrium condition on the student. We see that there are two forces acting on the student. The weight (W) of the student acting downward is in combat with the spring restoring force (Fs) acting upwards.

- Apply equilibrium condition in vertical direction:

                               Fs - W = 0

                               Fs = W

- The weight and spring force can be expressed as:

                               k*x = m*g

Where,     g : Gravitational acceleration constant = 9.81 m/s^2

                x : The extension of the spring from original position

- Solve for the extension (x) of the spring for this condition.

                              x = m*g / k

- Plug in the values and evaluate:

                              x = (60 kg)*(9.81 m/s^2) / (60 N/m)

                              x = 9.81 m

- The spring extends for about 9.81 m from its original length. So the distance (h) from edge of the bridge would be:

                              h = L + x

                              h = 15 + 9.81

                              h = 24.81 m
