Three different units of energy is

1. Joule: is is SI unit of measuring thermal energy or heat

2. Calorie: this system of energy is used when we take CGS system of mass and specific heat capacity

3. BTU: this system is known as british thermal unit which is used in measuring engineering calculations

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels
Crank

Answer:

v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}

And in the case of vertical v_{avg}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

where y_{tot} is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height H with initial velocity v_0 is given by:

y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when y'(t)=0, and it is

t=\frac{v_0}{g}

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2

y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}

y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H

\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another t_0 to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0

where t_0 is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2

we solve for t_0 using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

Therefore the total time is

t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}

\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH}  }{g}}

Now the average velocity is

v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }

\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }

an object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. at what velocity will it hit the ground? a 7.0 m/s b 11 m/s c 22 m/s d 49 m/s e
kipiarov [429]
Assuming that the object starts at rest, we know the following values:

distance = 25m
acceleration = 9.81m/s^2 [down]
initial velocity = 0m/s

we want to find final velocity and we don't know the time it took, so we will use the kinematics equation without time in it:

Velocity final^2 = velocity initial^2 + 2 × acceleration × distance

Filling everythint in, we have:

Vf^2 = 0^2 + (2)(-9.81)(-25)
The reason why the values are negative is because they are going in the negative direction

Vf^2 = 490.5

Take the square root of that

Final velocity = 22.15m/s which is answer c
