A girl drops a stone from the top a tower 45m tall. At the same time, a boy standing at the base of the tower, projects another

stone vertically upwards at 25ms-1 (g = 10 ms-2). Determine the:
(i) time when the stones meet.
(ii) point at which the stones meet.

Answer:

(i) The stones meet at 1.8 second

(ii) The point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

Explanation:

(i)

First we consider the stone dropped by the girl. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 0 m/s   (Since the stone was initially at rest)

t = Time Period

g = 10 m/s²

s₁ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₁ = (0)(t) + (0.5)(10)t²

s₁ = 5t²   ----- equation (1)

Now, we consider the stone throne vertically upward by the boy. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 25 m/s

t = Time Period

g = - 10 m/s²   (negative sign due to upward motion)

s₂ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₂ = (25)(t) + (0.5)(-10)t²

s₂ = 25t - 5t²   ----- equation (2)

At, the point where both the stones meet, the sum of distances covered by both stones must be equal to the height of building (i.e 45 m).

s₁ + s₂ = 45

using values from equation (1) and equation (2)

5t² + 25t - 5t² = 45

25t = 45

t = 45/25

<u>t =  1.8 sec</u>

(ii)

using this value of of t in equation (2)

s₂ = (25)(1.8) - (5)(1.8)²

<u>s₂ = 28.8 m</u>

using this value of of t in equation (1)

s₁ = (5)(1.8)²

<u>s₁ = 16.2 m</u>

<u>Hence, the point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.</u>

Answer:

orange line

Explanation:

it is the only straight line that makes sense. curved lines imply velocity changed. and the completly flat green line implies the vehicle didn't move since its position value stayed the same. must be the downward pointing orange line

Another machine uses an input of 200 newtons to produce an output force of 80 newtons what is the mechanical advantage of this m
Rina8888 [55]

If the input machine produces an output of 80 Newtons, then the mechanical advantage is that it produces work. If the required output must be 80 Newtons, then the input force is desirable having 100 percent production of force even though it requires a large amount of input to produce 80 Newtons of force.
