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
