Answer:
a)
b)
c)
Explanation:
From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height
To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go
b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula
Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height
So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high
a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point
Solving the quadratic equation
So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s
c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:
Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:
Answer:
The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station
Explanation:
Let the train traveling due north with a constant speed of 100 m/s be Train A.
Let the train traveling due south with a constant speed of 136 m/s be Train B.
From the question, Train B leaves a station 2,881 m away (that is 2,881 m away from Train A position).
Hence, the two trains would have traveled a total distance of 2,881 m by the time they collide.
∴ If train A has covered a distance m by the time of collision, then train B would have traveled
m.
Also,
At the position where the trains will collide, the two trains must have traveled for equal time, t.
That is, At the point of collision,
is the time spent by train A
is the time spent by train B
From,
Since the time spent by the two trains is equal,
Then,
m
m
m/s
m/s
Hence,
≅ 1,221 m
This is the distance covered by train A by the time of collision.
Hence, Train B would have covered (2881 - 1221)m = 1660 m
Train B would have covered 1660 m by the time of collision
Since it is train B that leaves a station,
∴ The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station.
