Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

Explain why ventilation is very important if there is risk of exposure to random gas in your home school

bonufazy [111]

Ventilation is very important because it helps remove the gas form people’s homes and schools and it redirects the random gas outside so it is less likely to hurt people

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 23

Burka [1]

Answer:

a) $v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}$ , b) $v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The equation for vertical velocity is obtained by deriving the function with respect to time:

$v(t) = 23.5 -9.8\cdot t$

The velocities at given instants are, respectivelly:

$v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

A man 2 meters tall walks at the rate of 2 meters per second toward a streetlight that's 5 meters above the ground. At what rate

GaryK [48]

Answer:

It changes at a rate of 4/3 meter per second

Explanation:

In the given figure below we have

$\Delta OBD\simeq \Delta ABC\\\\\therefore \frac{5}{X+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\$

Solving for Y given $X=2m/s$ we get

$\frac{5}{2+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\5Y=4+2Y\\\\Y=\frac{4}{3}m/s$
