91Ó°ÊÓ

An elevator without a ceiling is ascending with a constant speed of 10m/s. A boy on the elevator shoots a ball directly upward, from a height of 2.0 mabove the elevator floor, just as the elevator floor is 28 mabove the ground. The initial speed of the ball with respect to the elevator is 20 m/s. (a) What maximum height above the ground does the ball reach? (b) How long does the ball take to return to the elevator floor?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Maximum height is 76 m

b) Time is 4.2 s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

y0=28+2=30mv0y=20m/s

02

Determining the concept

The problem is based on the standard kinematic equations that describe the motion of an object with constant acceleration. Using these equations, themaximum height and time can be found.For example, a, v, y and tare variables, which can be found from kinematic equations.

Formula:

The displacement and velocity in kinematic equation are given as,

y=v0yt+12at2vf2=vi2+2ay-y0 (i)

(ii)

Where,y is total displacement,v0y is the y component of initial velocity, v0is the initial velocity and vf is the final velocity. is time and t is an acceleration.

03

(a) determining the maximum height

Here at maximum height vf=0m/s. Thus with equation (ii) the maximum height will be,

0=302-2×9.81y-30So,y=76m

Thus maximum height will be, y =76 m

04

(b) determining the time

To find the time, use the equation (i),

∆y=v0yt+12at2

Since, ball’s displacement relative to floor is,

∆y=-2.0m

Therefore,

-2=20t-0.5×9.8t24.9t2-20t-2=0Thus,t=4.2s
