A) For upward projection.
v = u -gt
but v = 0, thus u = gt,
t = u/g, t= 7.83/9.81, t = 0.798 sec
Therefore, distance, s
S = ut -1/2gt²
= 7.83(0.798) - 1/2(9.81)(0.798²)
= 6.248 - 3.124
= 3.124 m
Total Height is 10.3 + 3.124 = 13.424 m
For the case of free fall
s= ut + 1/2 gt² but u =0
s = 1/2 gt²
t² = (2 × 13.424)/9.81
t² = 2.7368
t = 1.654 s
Therefore, the time the stone remains in air will be 1.654 + 0.798
= 2.452 seconds
b) Speed of the impact on the ground
v= u + gt but, u = 0
thus v = gt
therefore, v = 9.81 × 1.653
= 16.216 m/s
Answer:
-0.4454 Joules
Explanation:
m = Mass of block = 2 kg
h = Height of extension = 17 cm = x
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Potential energy of the spring

The kinetic energy of the spring

In this system as the potential and kinetic energy is conserved from work energy equivalence we get

The work done by friction is -0.4454 Joules
