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>

A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage that takes her a distance 184 m straight west, then a distance 220 m in a
Sever21 [200]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define the unit vector i to point in the eastern direction, and the unit vector j to point in the northern direction.

The first distance is 184 m west. It is represented by
d₁ = -184 i

The second distance is 220 m at 30° south of east. It is
d₂ = 220(cos 30° i - sin 30° j) = 190.53 i - 110 j

The third distance is 104 m at 80 east of north. It is
d₃ = 104(sin 80° i + cos 80° j) =  102.42 i + 18.06 j

Let the fourth distance be 
d₄ = a i + b j

Because the traveler ends back at the original position, the vector sum of the distances is zero. It means that each component of the vector sum is zero.

The x-component yields
-184 + 190.53 + 102.42 + a = 0
a = -108.95

The y-component yields
0 - 110 + 18.06 + b = 0
b = 91.94

The magnitude of the fourth displacement is
√[(-108.95)² + 91.94² ] = 142.56 m

The direction is at an angle θ north of west, given by
θ = tan⁻¹ (91.94/108.95) = 40.2°

Answer:
The fourth displacement has a magnitude of 142.56 m. It is about 40° north of west.

Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.

Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.

The best I could do.

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.
