Answer: a) 60m/s b) 360m c) 180m

Explanation:

Projectile motion occurs when an object launched into space falls freely under the influence of gravity.

If the time of flight (T) = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the velocity of the object

theta is the angle at which the object was thrown

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given T = 6 seconds

theta= 90°(object launched upwards)

g = 10m/s²

U= ?

Substituting in the formula we have;

6 = Usin90°/10

60 = Usin90°

since sin90° = 1

U = 60m/s

The balls initial velocity is 60m/s.

b) Maximum Height reached (H) = U²sin²theta/g

Given U = 60m/s, theta = 90° g = 10m/s²

H = 60²(sin90°)²/10

H = 3600/10

H = 360m.

The maximum height reached is 360m

c) at maximum height, v = 0

Using v² = u² - 2gh

0 = 60² - 2(10)h

-3600 = -20h

h = 3600/20

h = 180m

The cliff is 180m tall

arzan, who weighs 700 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a convenient vine thatis 20 m long. From the top of the cliff to the
vekshin1

Answer:

= 7.07 m

Explanation:

The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,

change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing

m g h = (1/2) m v²   ,  

hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as  

v = ( 2 g h )1/2

= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2

= 7 m/s

At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.  

If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by

S = (1/2)g t2 or   t = (2S/g)1/2

= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2

= 1.01 s

Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7

= 7.07 m
