A cannon fires a cannonball directly upwards at +150m/s. How long does it take for the cannonball to reach maximum height?

1 answer:

7 0

2 a (x - x0) = (v)^2 - (v0)^2
2(9.80m/s/s)((x - (0)) = (0)^2 - (150.m/s )^2
x = +1150 m
(3 significant digits)

x = +1147.959 m
(More digits if needed)

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3

kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, $a=25.4\ m/s^2$

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

$v=u+at$

$v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s$

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

$v^2=u^2+2ax_o$

$x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m$

Let $x_o$ is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)$

Now $a=-g$ and v and u will interchange

$u^2=2g(x-x_o)$

$x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

$x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
