a) 2.64 s
We can solve this part of the problem by using the following SUVAT equation:
where
s is the displacement of the stone
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
We must be careful to the signs of s, u and a. Taking upward as positive direction, we have:
- s (displacement) negative, since it is downward: so s = -75.0 m
- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s
- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a= g = -9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)
Substituting into the equation,
Solving the equation, we have two solutions: t = -5.80 s and t = 2.84 s. Since the negative solution has no physical meaning, the stone reaches the bottom of the cliff 2.64 s later.
b) 10.4 m/s
The speed of the stone when it reaches the bottom of the cliff can be calculated by using the equation:
where again, we must be careful to the signs of the various quantities:
- u (initial velocity) positive, since it is upward: +15.5 m/s
- a (acceleration) negative, since it is downward: so a = g = -9.8 m/s^2
Substituting t = 2.64 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:
where the negative sign means that the velocity is downward: so the speed is 10.4 m/s.
c) 4.11 s
In this case, we can use again the equation:
where
s is the displacement of the package
u is the initial velocity
t is the time
a is the acceleration
We have:
s = -105 m (vertical displacement of the package, downward so negative)
u = +5.40 m/s (initial velocity of the package, which is the same as the helicopter, upward so positive)
a = g = -9.8 m/s^2
Substituting into the equation,
Which gives two solutions: t = -5.21 s and t = 4.11 s. Again, we discard the first solution since it is negative, so the package reaches the ground after
t = 4.11 seconds.
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>
Ryan applied a force of 10N and moved a book 30 cm in the direction of the force. How much was the work done by Ryan?
<h2><u>Answer:</u><u>-</u></h2><h3>Given,</h3>=> Force applied by Ryan = 10N
=> Distance covered by the book after applying force = 30 cm
<h3>And,</h3>30 cm = 0.3 m (distance)
<h3>So,</h3>=> Work done = Force × Distance
=> 10 × 0.3
=> 3 Joules
