A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 27.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 21.0-m-tall building. The rock

doesn't hit the building on its way back down and lands in the street below. Ignore air resistance. Part A: What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street?
Part B: How much time elapses from when the rock is thrown until it hits the street?

Answer:

A. 33.77 m/s

B. 6.20 s

Explanation:

Frame of reference:

Gravity g=-9.8 m/s^2; Initial position (roof) y=0; Final Position street y= -21 m

Initial velocity upwards v= 27 m/s

Part A. Using kinematics expression for velocities and distance:

V_{final}^{2}=V_{initial}^{2}+2g(y_{final}-y_{initial})\\V_{f}^{2}=27^{2}-2*9.8(-21-0)=33.77 m/s

Part B. Using Kinematics expression for distance, time and initial velocity

y_{final}=y_{initial}+V_{initial}t+\frac{1}{2} g*t^{2}\\==> -0.5*9.8t^{2}+27t+21=0\\==> t_1 =-0.69 s\\t_2=6.20 s

Since it is a second order equation for time, we solved it with a calculator. We pick the positive solution.

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached
MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

  • When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
  • During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
  • In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
  • At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

An FM radio station broadcasts at 9.23 × 107 Hz. Given that the radio waves travel at 3.00 × 108 m/s, what is the wavelength of
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3.2m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the FM radio = 9.23 x 10⁷Hz

Velocity of the waves = 3  x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the wave = ?

Solution:

To solve for the wavelength of the wave, we need the velocity equation;

       Velocity = frequency x wavelength.

Radio waves are all electromagnetic radiations produced by both electrical and magnetic fields perpendicularly oriented to one another.

 Since the unknown is wavelength, we solve for it:

       

    3  x 10⁸  = 9.23 x 10⁷ x wavelength

          wavelength = \frac{ 3 x 10^{8} }{9.23 x  10^{7} }

        wavelength = 3.2m
