An object falls a distance h from rest. If it travels 0.50h in the last 1.00 s , find

(a) the time and (b) the height of its fall. (c) Explain the physically unacceptable

solution of the quadratic equation in t that you obtain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Time of fall of the object from the original height is 3.41 s.

b) Total height of fall is 57 m.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data 

The time taken for an object to travel of distance is t = 1.00 s .

02

Understanding the concept of free fall

The time of free fall and the height of fall can be determined by kinematic

equations. During the free fall, the object is fall with the gravitational

acceleration.

The kinematic equation that can be used to solve the problem is,

y=v1t+12at2 (i)

03

(a) Determination of the time of fall

Taking the origin as the point from which, the object was dropped and downward direction as the positive axis.

Notation of the terms

t = time by total distance traveled by the object.

t'= time for the object to travel from origin to

y = total distance of travel

y' = distance of object鈥檚 travel in

Now,

t-t'=1.00sy-y'=0.50h

Suppose,y=h

This can be written as,

h-y'=0.50h

Or

y'=0.50h

Putting the values in the equation (i)

y'=0.5at'2t'=y'0.5ay=0.5at2t=y0.5at't=0.50h0.5ah0.5at'=0.50t

From the above calculations,

t=t-1.00s

0.50t=t-1.00s

t=11-.50

t=110.707=3.41sor0.585s

Value of t cannot be less than 1s .The correct answer is 3.41 s. So, the time of fall

of object is 3.41 s.

04

(b) Determination of height of fall

By using the equation

t=h0.5ah=0.5at2=56.97m57m

The height of the fall is 57 m.

05

(c) Explanation of physically unacceptable solution

The second value was lesser than 1s ,The total time cannot be less than 1s . For this

reason, we cannot use the second value.

A salamander of the genus Hydromantes captures prey by launching its tongue as a projectile. The skeletal part of the tongue is shot forward, unfolding the rest of the tongue, until the outer portion lands on the prey, sticking to it. Figure 2-39 shows the acceleration magnitude a versus time t for the acceleration phase of the launch in a typical situation. The indicated accelerations are a2=400m/s2anda1=100m/s2. What is the outward speed of the tongue at the end of the acceleration phase?

A muon (an elementary particle) enters a region with a speed of5.00106m/sand then is slowed down at the rate of1.251014m/s2. (a)How far does the muon take to stop? (b) Graph x vs t and v vs t for the muon.

You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 25m; both your car and the police car are traveling at 110km/h..Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0s, (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, 鈥淚 won鈥檛 do that!鈥). At the beginning of that 2.0s,the police officer begins braking suddenly at 5.0m/s2(a)What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another0.40s to realize your danger and begin braking. (b)If you too brake at5.0m/s2,what is your speed when you hit the police car?

Figure depicts the motion of a particle moving along an x axis with a constant acceleration. The figure鈥檚 vertical scaling is set byxs=6.0m. What are the (a) magnitude and(b) direction of particle鈥檚 acceleration?

(a) If a particle鈥檚 position is given by x=4-12t+3t2(where tis in sec and x in metres), what is its velocity at t=1sec? (b) Is it moving in positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) What is its speed just then? (d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculations) (e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t, if no, answer no. (f) Is there a time after t=3secwhen the particle is moving in negative direction of x? If so, give the time t, if no, answer no.
