Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a,

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

Find the net work W done on the particle by the external forces during the motion of the particle in terms of the initial and fi
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

W=K_f-K_i

Explanation:

The work done on a particle by external forces is defined as:

W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i} {F\cdot dr} \,

According to Newton's second law F=ma. Thus:

W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{ma\cdot dr} \,\\

Acceleration is defined as the derivative of the speed with respect to time:

W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{\frac{dv}{dt}\cdot dr} \,\\\\W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{dv \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}} \,

Speed is defined as the derivative of the position with respect to time:

W=m\int\limits^{v_f}_{v_i} v \cdot dv \,

Kinetic energy is defined as K=\frac{mv^2}{2}:

W=m\frac{v_f^2}{2}-m\frac{v_i^2}{2}\\W=K_f-K_i
