(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by
<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²
where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :
0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²
0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )
<em>t</em> = 0 or (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0
The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.
(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>
<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>
<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s
(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So
0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>
where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :
<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)
<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m
You know I’m going to be honest I don’t feel like it
Answer:
k = 104.46 N/m
Explanation:
Here we can use energy conservation
so we will have
initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy
as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m
while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m
so the extension in the string is given as
so we have
