Answers:

a) How high does the rock get?=1.933m

b)How far downrange from the pedestal does the rock land?=21.25m

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the rock has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

$V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta$ (2)

Where:

$V_{o}=18m/s$ is the rock's initial speed

$\theta=20\°$ is the angle

is the time since the rock is propelled until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$V_{y}=V_{o}sin\theta-gt$ (4)

Where:

$y_{o}=10m$ is the initial height of the rock

y=0 is the final height of the rock (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's begin with the anwers:

a) How high does the rock get?

Here we are talking about the maximun height $y_{max}$ the rock has in its parabolic motion. This is fulfilled when $V_{y}=0$ .

Rewritting (4) with this condition:

$0=V_{o}sin\theta-gt$ (5)

Isolating :

$t=\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

$y_{max}=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta(\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g})-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}sin\theta}{g})^{2}$ (7)

$y_{max}=\frac{V_{o}^{2}sin^{2}\theta}{2g}$ (8)

Solving:

$y_{max}=\frac{(18m/s)^{2}sin^{2}(20\°)}{2(9.8m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Then:

$y_{max}=1.933m$ (10) This is the maximum height the rock has.

b) How far downrange from the pedestal does the rock land?

Here we are talking about the maximun horizontal distance $x_{max}$ the rock has in its parabolic motion (this is fulfilled when y=0 ):

$0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (11)

Isolating from (11):

$t=\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta}{g}$ (12)

Substituting (12) in (1):

$x_{max}=V_{o}cos\theta (\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta}{g})$ (13)

$x_{max}=\frac{V_{o}^{2}(2cos\theta sin\theta)}{g}$ (14)

Knowing $sin(2\theta)=2cos\theta sin\theta$ :

$x_{max}=\frac{V_{o}^{2}sin2\theta}{g}$ (15)

Solving:

$x_{max}=\frac{(18m/s)^{2}sin2(20)}{9.8m/s^{2}}$ (16)

Finally:

$x_{max}=21.25m$ (17)

it becomes positively charged by charging it

Answer from: Quest

answer would be letter choice (a), a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy > stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger > kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground > kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball flying through the air > kinetic energy > moving energy

hope that : )
