Answer:
Velocity=14[m/s]
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the principle of energy conservation, where potential energy becomes kinetic energy.
In the attached image we can see the illustration of the ball falling from the height of 20 meters, at this time the potential energy will have the following value.
When the ball passes through half of the distance (10m) its potential energy will have decreased by half as shown below.
If we know that potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, we can find the value of speed.
Answer:
1. The stone will strike the ground 49.46 m from the base of the cliff
2. A) Approximately 0.542 seconds
B) Approximately 3.69 m/s
3. A) The time the ball spends in the air is approximately 4.0775 s
B) The horizontal range is approximately 141.25 m.
Explanation:
1. The time it takes the stone to land is given by the equation, t = √(h/(1/2 × g)
∴ t = √(30/(1/2 × 9.81)) ≈ 2.473 seconds
The horizontal distance covered by the stone in that time = 20 × 2.473 ≈ 49.46 m
The stone will strike the ground 49.46 m from the base of the cliff
2. A) The time the ball spends in the air = t = √(h/(1/2 × g)
∴ t = √(1.44/(1/2 × 9.81)) ≈ 0.542 seconds
B) The initial horizontal velocity, u = Horizontal distance/(Time) = 2/0.542 ≈ 3.69 m/s
The initial horizontal velocity ≈ 3.69 m/s
3. A) The time the ball spends in the air is given by the following equation;
t = 2 × u × sin(θ)/g = 2 × 40 × sin(30)/9.81 ≈ 4.0775 s
t ≈ 4.0775 s
B) The horizontal range, R, of the ball is given by the equation for the range of a projectile as follows;
Substituting the known values, gives;
The horizontal range ≈ 141.25 m.
