Answer:
<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>
<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>
Explanation:
Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.
The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:
The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:
The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.
a,
The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:
t = 2.02 s
The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground
b.
The range is calculated now:
d = 20.2 m
The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff
(a) 0.40 s
First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.
The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:
where
v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height
u is the initial velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving for u,
The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation
Solving for t,
Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of
h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m
Using again the equation
we find
And the corresponding time is
So the time to go from h' to h is
And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:
(b) 0.08 s
This part is easier since we need to calculate only the velocity at a height of h' = 0.20 m:
And the corresponding time is
So this is the time needed to go from h=0 to h=20 cm; again, we have to take into account the motion downwards, so we have to multiply this by 2:
