A small object begins a free-fall from a height of =81.5 m at 0=0 s . After τ=2.20 s , a second small object is launched vertica

lly up from the ground with an initial velocity of 0=40.0 m/s . At what height from the ground will the two objects first meet?

Answer:

33.23 m

Explanation:

At the point where both objects will meet, the vertical height will be equal.

From the equations of motion, the vertical height of the body falling at any time is given as

(y - y₀) = ut + ½gt²

y = vertical height at any time T

y₀ = initial height of the object = 81.5 m

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s (body was dropped)

g = -9.8 m/s²

(y - 81.5) = 0 - 4.9T²

y = 81.5 - 4.9T² (eqn 1)

For an object thrown up, the vertical height of the body at any time, t, is given as

(y - y₀) = ut + ½gt²

y = vertical height of the object at any time t

y₀ = initial height of the object = 0 m

u = initial velocity = 40 m/s

g = -9.8 m/s²

y = 40t - 4.9t² (eqn 2)

At the point where the two objects meet, we equate eqn 1 and eqn 2

y = y

81.5 - 4.9T² = 40t - 4.9t²

But T = (t + 2.2) (Since object 2 was dropped 2.2 s after object 1)

81.5 - 4.9(t + 2.2)² = 40t - 4.9t²

81.5 - 4.9(t² + 4.4t + 4.84) = 40t - 4.9t²

81.5 - 4.9t² - 21.56t - 23.716 = 40t - 4.9t²

81.5 - 21.56t - 23.716 - 40t = 0

57.784 = 61.56t

t = (57.784/61.56) = 0.93866 = 0.94 s

Therefore, the vertical height at t = 0.93866 s is

y = (40×0.93866) - 4.9(0.93866²) = 33.23 m

Hope this Helps!!!

Which of the following states of matter is always a good conductor of electricity? solid, liquid, gas, or plasma **:/ Thank you!
pogonyaev

Plasma...I believe is always a good conductor of electricity. I was tempted to say a solid, but not all solids are the same in composition and that goes for liquid and gas as well.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

If Juan upgrades from a sports car to a large truck, what will happen to the
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The force will have to increase

Explanation:

Since Juan has upgraded from a sports car to a large truck, based on Newton's second law of motion, the force needed to keep the truck going at the same speed will have to increase.

 According to Newton's second law "the force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration".

       Force  = mass x acceleration

A truck has a larger mass compared to a sports car.

By virtue of this, to make sure both automobiles attain the same speed, the force powering them to accelerate must be the same.

 Therefore, the force from the engine must increase.
