Answer:
X-Positions: Y-Positions
x(0) = 0 y(0) = 0
x(2) = 120 m y(2) = 19.6 m
x(4) = 240 m y(4) = 78.4 m
x(6) = 360 m y(6) = 176.4 m
x(8) = 480 m y(8) = 313 m
x(10) = 600m y (10) = 490 m
Explanation:
X-Positions
- First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
- After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
- So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:

- It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.
Y-Positions
- We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
- As both axes are perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
- At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
- As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:

- Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
- y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
- y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
- y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
- y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
- y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m
Answer:
Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.
Newton's third law states that if an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
Explanation:
Answer:
The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position and the P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.
Explanation:
- A child is swinging on swing up and down has both kinetic and potential energy.
- The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved throughout the system. At any instant the total mechanical energy is given by,
E = K.E + P.E
- The K.E is maximum when the child is at the vertical position.
- The P.E is maximum at the extreme deviated position from the vertical.
- And when K.E is maximum P.E becomes minimum and vice versa as per the law of conservation of energy.
