A stone is thrown outward from the top of a 59.4-m high cliff with an upward velocity component of 19.5 m/s. How long is stone in the air?
Answers
Answer:
There are 2 cases here:
a. The stone travels to another certain height until its velocity becomes 0.
i.e V² = u² - 2gh (given u = 19.5m/s)
When it reaches maximum height V = 0
so, h = u²/2g = (19.5)²/(2*9.8) => h= 19.4m
b. Now the body starts to fall freely under gravity, so:
h = 1/2*gt²
We know maximum height reached by the body = height of building + height traveled after throw in (a)
or., t = √(2h/g)
or, t = √2*(19.4+59.4) /9.8 = 4 second
Explanation:
Answer:
t = √2*(19.4+59.4) /9.8 = 4 sec
Explanation:
Case 1 :
The stone travels to another certain height until its velocity becomes 0.
i.e V² = u² - 2gh (given u = 19.5m/s)
When it reaches maximum height V = 0
so, h = u²/2g = (19.5)²/(2*9.8) => h= 19.4m
Case 2 :
Now the body starts to fall freely under gravity, so:
h = 1/2*gt²
We know maximum height reached by the body = height of building + height traveled after throw in case 1.
or., t = √(2h/g)
or, t = √2*(19.4+59.4) /9.8 = 4 second
