(a)
How long after throwing the rock, it returns to its original height.
Answer to Problem 67QAP
The rock returns to its original height 4.62 s after it was thrown.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of the rock
Angle of projection of the rock
Formula used:
The equation of motion for the vertical motion of the rock can be used to determine the time it would take for it to return to the height at which it was projected.
Here,
Calculation:
The rock is projected from point O, where the origin of the chosen coordinate system rests. The x axis is drawn parallel to the ground and the + y axis points vertically upwards. The rock moves under the action of the gravitational force. The acceleration acting on the rock acts downwards and it is equal to the acceleration of free fall.
The rock moves upwards and reaches the point of maximum height and then descends down to point A, which is at the same height as the point O.
This is shown in the diagram below:
The total vertical displacement made by the rock when it reaches point A is equal to zero.
Therefore,
Calculate the vertical component of the rock's velocity.
Substitute 0 m for
Conclusion:
Thus, the rock returns to its original height 4.62 s after it was thrown.
(b)
When the stone projected from the top of the dam would hit the water flowing out of the dam.
Answer to Problem 67QAP
The stone would hit the water after 6.86 s after it was thrown and the sound of splash would reach us 0.303 s later.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Height of the dam from the ground
Speed of the rock
Angle of projection of the rock
Speed of sound in air
Formula used:
The equation for the vertical motion of the rock is
Here,
The equation for the horizontal motion of the rock is
Here,
The time taken by sound to reach the point of projection is given by,
Here, d is the total distance traveled by sound with a speed
Calculation:
The vertical component of the rock's velocity, calculated in part (a) is
The total vertical displacement made by the rock when it reaches the water is equal to the height of the dam.
In equation (1), substitute
Rearrange the equation.
Solve for t.
Taking the positive root,
The stone splashes into water at point B, which is at a horizontal distance
No force acts on the rock in the horizontal direction, hence the acceleration
Calculate the horizontal component of the rock's velocity.
Substitute 10.56 m/s for
The sound of splash starts from point B and travels along BO to reach the point of projection.
Calculate the distance travelled by sound.
Calculate the time taken by the sound of splash to reach the point of projection using equation (3).
Conclusion:
Thus, the stone would hit the water after 6.86 s after it was thrown and the sound of splash would reach us 0.303 s later
