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.

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?

Catapulting mushrooms.Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side. The spore is bent over by the drop鈥檚 weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop鈥檚 water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches the speed of 51.6 m/sin a5.0mlaunch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.0 mmby the air. Using that data and assuming constant accelerations, (a) find the accelerations in terms of g during the launch. (b)Find the accelerations in terms of g during the speed reduction.

The wings on a stonefly do not flap, and thus the insect cannot fly. However, when the insect is on a water surface, it can sail across the surface by lifting its wings into a breeze. Suppose that you time stoneflies as they move at constant speed along a straight path of a certain length. On average, the trips each take7.1swith the wings set as sails and 25.0swith the wings tucked in. (a) What is the ratio of the sailing speed vsto the non-sailing speed localid="1654754209433" vns?
