Question
A ball is thrown upward from the ground with initial velocity vi= 14 m/s and reaches height of h above the ground before falling back down. Take the upwards direction to be positive. Neglect air resistance. (F) Calculate the value of delta t in seconds. (G) What is the total displacement, in meters, of the ball going through its entire motion: traveling from the ground to the top then falling back to the ground? (H) Enter an expression for the total time of flight of the ball: the time from when it is launches to when it lands on the ground.

- More people end up in U.S. emergency rooms because of fall-related injuries than from any other cause. At what speed ? would someone hit the ground who accidentally steps off the top rung of a 6.00 ft tall stepladder? (That step is usually embossed with the phrase "Warning! Do not stand on this step.") Ignore the effects of air resistance. Let the +? direction point vertically upward and the origin be on the ground.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown from a rooftop with an initial downward velocity of magnitude vo = 1.9 m/s. The rooftop is a distance above the ground, h = 32 m. In this problem use a coordinate system in which upwards is positive. Find the vertical component of the velocity, vfy, in meters per second, with which the ball hits the ground. If we wanted the ball's final speed to be exactly 27.3 m/s, from what height, hnew (in meters), would we need to throw it with the same initial velocity? If the height is fixed at 32 m, but we wanted the ball's final speed to be 32.7 m/s, what would the vertical component of the initial velocity viy need to be, in meters per second?arrow_forwardA stone is thrown from ground level with a speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.

If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.84 s after kicking the rock? m/s Need Help?

Sarrow_forwardA missile silo is used to launch military rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Determine the velocity of the rocket (in m/s) at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time (in s). (For the velocity, indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) velocity at end of engine V = 92.22 Check your kinematic equation relating vo, V1, ay, and AYo → 1 (where velocity of rocket as it clears the silo, v, = velocity of the rocket at…arrow_forward
