A rock is thrown vertically upward from ground level at time t=0 . Atrole="math" localid="1656149217888" t=1.5s ,it passes the top of a tall tower, and 1.0 s later, it reaches its maximum height. What is the height of the tower?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The height of the tower is 26 m.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The time taken by the rock to reach the top of the tower ist=1.5s .

The time taken by the rock to achieve the maximum height ist'=2.5s .

02

Understanding the concept

With the help of the given time interval, using the kinematics equation the height of the tower can be determined.

The kinematic equations that can be used to calculate the height are,

vf=vi+at(i)

螖测=vit+12at2(ii)

03

Calculation of the initial velocity

At maximum height velocity of the projectile is zero. Substitute the values in equation (i).

0=vi+(-9.8)(2.5)vi=24.5m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 24.5 m/s .

04

Calculation of the height of the tower

Using the initial velocity and other given values in equation (ii), we can find the height of the tower. Substitute the values in equation (ii).

y=(24.5m/s)(1.5s)+12(-9.8m/s2)(1.5s)2=25.72m26m

Therefore, the height of the tower is 26 m .

An abrupt slowdown in concentrated traffic can travel as a pulse, termed a shock wave, along the line of cars, either downstream (in traffic direction) or upstream, or it can be stationary. Figure 2-25shows a uniformly spaced line of cars moving at speed V=25 m/stoward a uniformly spaced line of slow cars moving at speedvs=5m/s. Assume that each faster car adds length L=12.0 m(car length plus buffer zone) to the line of slow cars when it joins the line, and assume it slows abruptly at the last instant. (a) For what separation distance d between the faster cars does the shock wave remain stationary? If the separation is twice the amount, (b) What is the Speed? (c) What is the Direction (upstream or downstream) of the shock wave?

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 2-1 6 gives the velocity of a particle moving on an x axis. What

are (a) the initial and (b) the final directions of travel? (c) Does the particle stop momentarily? (d) Is the acceleration positive or negative? (e) Is it constant or varying?

Hanging over the railing of a bridge, you drop an egg (no initial velocity) as you throw a second egg downward. Which curves in Fig 2-21 give the velocityfor- (a) the dropped egg and (b) the thrown egg? (Curves A and B are parallel, so are C, D and E, so are F and G)

You are to drive 300km to an interview. The interview is at 11.15 AM. You plan to drive at 100 km/h , so you leave at 8 AM, to allow some extra time. You drive at that speed for the first 100 km, but then construction work forces you to slow to 40 km/h for 40km. What would be the least speed needed for the rest of the trip to arrive in time for the interview?
