Astone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 750 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the distance (in meters) of the stone above ground level at time t. h(t) = −4.9t2+750 (b) how long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (round your answer to two decimal places.) 12.37 s (c) with what velocity does it strike the ground? (round your answer to one decimal place.) -121.2 m/s (d) if the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 6 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer from: zitterkoph

(a) The stone moves by uniform accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2

directed downwards, and its initial vertical position at time t=0 is 750 m. So, the vertical position (in meters) at any time t can be written as
$y(t)= y_0 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2= 750 - 4.9 t^2$

(b) The time the stone takes to reach the ground is the time at which the vertical position of the stone becomes zero: y(t)=0. So, we can write
750-4.9 t^2 = 0

from which we find the time t after which the stone reaches the ground:
$t= \sqrt{\frac{750 m}{4.9 m/s^2 }}= 12.37 s$

(c) The velocity of the stone at time t can be written as
v(t) = -gt

because it is an accelerated motion with initial speed zero. Substituting t=12.37 s, we find the final velocity of the stone:
v(12.37 s)=-(9.81 m/s^2)(12.37 s)=-121.3 m/s

v(12.37 s)=-(9.81 m/s^2)(12.37 s)=-121.3 m/s

(d) if the stone has an initial velocity of v_0 = 6 m/s

, then its law of motion would be
$y(t)=y_0 - v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
and we can find the time it needs to reach the ground by requiring again y(t)=0:
0=750 - 6t - 4.9 t^2

which has two solutions: one is negative so we neglect it, while the second one is t=11.78 s, so this is the time after which the stone reaches the ground.

Answer from: rileybaby34

a) $\rm y(t) = 750-4.9t^2$

b) t = 12.37 sec

c) v = -121.34 m/sec

d) t = 11.78 sec

Given :

Upper observation deck of a tower is 750 m above the ground.

Solution :

a) The vertical position at any time t is given by,

$\rm y(t) = y_0 - \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

At t = 0 , y = 750 m

$\rm y(t) = 750 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2$

$\rm y(t) = 750-4.9t^2$ --- (1)

b) The stone is reached to the ground that is, y(t) = 0

So, from equation (1) we get

$\rm t = \sqrt{\dfrac{750}{4.9}}$

t = 12.37 sec

c) Velocity when it strike the ground is given by,

v = u - gt

here initial velocity u = 0, therefore

$\rm v = - 9.81 \times 12.37$

v = - 121.34 m/sec

d) In this case given that initial velocity is 6 m/sec, therefore

$\rm y(t) = y_0 - ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$ ---- (2)

here stone is reached to the ground so y(t) = 0. From equation (2) we get,

$\rm 0 = 750-(6\times t) -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81 \times t^2$

$\rm 4.9t^2 + 6t -750 = 0$

By solving the above equation we get t = 11.78 sec.

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. you are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. you are informed that they are made of the exact same material, but one is crystalline, whereas the other is amorphous. it is your job to determine which one is amorphous this one is more stress-resistant and is useful in reinforcing golf clubs. which of the following is the best way to determine which is which? a. determine the density of each cube. the more dense one is the amorphous solid. b. melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. the one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid. c. determine the density of each cube. the less dense cube is the amorphous solid. d. melt both cubes and measure the range of melting temperatures. the one that melts over a narrower range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.
