Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Vertical Launch Upwards</u>
In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up from a height H without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.
If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:
The object referred to in the question is thrown from a height H=0 and the maximum height is hm=77.5 m.
(a)
To find the initial speed we solve for vo:
(b)
The maximum time or the time taken by the object to reach its highest point is calculated as follows:
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the surface is frictionless, momentum will be conserved. If the bullet of mass 
has an initial velocity 
and a final velocity 
and the block of mass 
has an initial velocity 
and a final velocity 
then the initial and final momentum of the system will be:
Since momentum is conserved, 
, which means:
We know that the block is brought to rest by the collision, which means 
and leaves us with:
which is the same as:
Considering the direction the bullet moves initially as the positive one, and writing in S.I., this gives us:
So kinetic energy of the bullet as it emerges from the block will be:
