<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity V_{o} has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle \alpha=61\º:

V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha   (1)

V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}  (2)

V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha   (3)

V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}   (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

<h2>In the x-axis: </h2>

X=V_{ox}.t  (5)

Where:

X=10.1m is the distance where the brick landed

t is the time in seconds

If we already know X and V_{ox}, we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}  (6)

t=2.42s  (7)

<h2>In the y-axis: </h2>

-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}   (8)

Where:

y is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}   (9)

-y=-10.52m   (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

y=10.52m >>>>This is the height of the building

Answer:

Part a)

H = 44.1 m

Part b)

y = 13.48 m

Part c)

d = 8.86 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}

now we have

3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}

v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s

Now maximum height above ground is given as

H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}

H = 44.1 m

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)

y = 13.48 m

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

x = v_x t

97.5 = v_x (5.5)

v_x = 17.72 m/s

now total time of flight is given as

T = 3 + 3 = 6 s

so range is given as

R = v_x T

R = (17.72)(6)

R = 106.4 m

so the distance from the fence is given as

d = 106.4 - 97.5

d = 8.86 m

Why is the solar system commonly represented as a scale model?
topjm [15]
The actual size of the Solar system is too big to show without making a much smaller model. If someone wants to see the orientation of the planets a model has to be made so we can see it without flying out too space.
