Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 $\frac{m }{s^{2}}$

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 $\frac{m }{s}$

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 $\frac{m }{s}$

2. A 2.5 meter-long wave travels at 1 m/s towards a fixed boundary. After 2 seconds, how does the wave appear?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Since incident wave and its reflected part in opposite phase superimpose on each other

So correct answer will be

Option B

Explanation:

Here we know that the wave reflection is done by rigid boundary

So when wave is reflected by the boundary then its phase is reversed by 180 degree

so the reflected wave is in reverse phase from the boundary

so we can superimpose the reflected part with incident wave to dine the resultant wave

So the phenomenon is given as follow

I was driving along at 20 m/s , trying to change a CD and not watching where I was going. When I looked up, I found myself 46 m

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

6.46393559312 m/s²

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 56 m

$t=\dfrac{56}{29}\ s$

Distance covered in 0.42 seconds

$0.42\times 20=8.4\ m$

From equation of linear motion

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

$8.4+20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)+\dfrac{1}{2}a(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2=46\\\Rightarrow a=(46-8.4-20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42))\times\dfrac{2}{(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=6.46393559312\ m/s^2$

The minimum acceleration is 6.46393559312 m/s²

You haven't said how much power the stereo uses. It matters !

Whatever that number is, the maximum hours per month is

(3460) divided by (the # of watts the stereo uses when it's playing) .
