10. A particle moves along a straight line with an acceleration of a = 5/(3s3 + s32) m/s, where s is in
meters. Determine the particle's velocity when s = 2 m, if it starts from rest when s 1 m. Use a
numerical method to evaluate the integral.
Ans. v= 1.29 m/s
Q1.1 An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.65 m high throws a rock straight up with
speed 7.40 m/s from a height of 1.55 m above the ground.
3.65 m
1.55 m
a. Will the rock reach the top of the wall? If so, how fast is it moving when it reaches
the top. If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top?
b. To defend the castle, a rock is thrown downwards from the top of the wall with an
initial speed of 7.40 m/s. What is this rock's speed as it passes the height of 1.55 m
from the ground?
c. Does the change in speed of the downward moving rock agree with the magnitude
of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations? Explain
physically why it does or does not agree.
The Grand Canyon is 6000 feet deep at the deepest part. A rock is dropped from this height. (The acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet/sec2.)
a. Express the height of the rock as a function of the time (in seconds).
b. How long will it take the rock to hit the canyon floor?
c. With what velocity does the rock hit the canyon floor? With what acceleration?
