Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64.0 cm. He releases it 2.20 m above the ground. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of the shot when Sam releases it? (b) How high above the ground does it go? (c) How much time does he have to get out of its way before it returns to the height of the top of his head, 1.83 m above the ground?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 6.69m/s

b. y=4.48m

c. t=1.43secs

Explanation:

Data given, acceleration,a=35m/s^2

distance covered,d=64cm=0.64m,

a. to determine the speed, we use the equation of motion

initial velocity,u=0m/s

if we substitute values we arrive at

[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\v^{2}=0+2*35*0.64\\v^{2}=44.8m/s\\v=\sqrt{44.8}\\ v=6.69m/s\\[/tex]

b. After taking the shot,the acceleration value is due to gravity i.e a=9.81m/s^2

and the distance becomes (y-2.2) above the ground. When it reaches the maximum height, the final velocity becomes zero and the initial velocity becomes 6.69m/s.

Hence we can write the equation above again

[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\[/tex]

if we substitute values we have

[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\0=6.69^{2}-2*9.81(y-2.2)\\y-2.2=\frac{44.76}{19.62} \\y=2.28+2.2\\y=4.48m[/tex]

c. the time it takes to arrive at 1.83m is obtain by using the equation below

[tex]1.83-2.2=6.69t-\frac{1}{2} *9.81t^{2}\\4.9t^{2}-6.69t-0.37\\using \\t= \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}\\ where \\a=4.9, b=-6.69, c=-0.37[/tex]

if we insert the values, we solve for t , hence t=1.43secs

(a) The speed of the shot when Sam releases it 6.75 m/s.

(b) The height risen by the shot above the ground is 4.52 m.

(c) The time taken for the shot to return to 1.8 m above the ground is 1.44 s.

The given parameters;

  • constant acceleration, a = 35 m/s²
  • height above the ground, hâ‚€ = 64 cm = 2.2 m
  • height traveled, Δh = 64 cm = 0.64 m

The speed of the shot when Sam releases it is calculated as;

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v^2 = 0 + 2a(\Delta h)\\\\v = \sqrt{2a(\Delta h)} \\\\v = \sqrt{2\times 35(0.65)} \\\\v = 6.75 \ m/s[/tex]

The height risen by the shot is calculated as follows;

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\at \ maximum \ height , v = 0\\\\0 = (6.75)^2 + 2(-9.8)h\\\\19.6h = 45.56 \\\\h = \frac{45.56}{19.6} \\\\h =2.32 \ m[/tex]

The total height above the ground = 2.20 m + 2.32 m = 4.52 m.

The time taken for the shot to return to 1.8 m above the ground is calculated as follows;

the time taken to reach the maximum height is calculated as;

[tex]h = vt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\2.32 = 6.75t - (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\2.32 = 6.75t -4.9t^2\\\\4.9t^2 -6.75t + 2.32=0\\\\a = 4.9, \ b = -6.75, \ c = 2.32\\\\t = \frac{-b \ \ + /- \ \ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-(-6.75) \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{(-6.75)^2 - 4(4.9\times 2.32)} }{2(4.9)} \\\\t = 0.72 \ s\ \ or \ \ 0.66 \ s[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 0.7 \ s[/tex]

height traveled downwards from the maximum height reached = 4.52 m - 1.8 m = 2.72 m

[tex]h = vt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2(2.72)}{9.8} } \\\\t = 0.74 \ s[/tex]

The total time spent in air;

[tex]t = 0.7 \ s \ + \ 0.74 \ s\\\\t = 1.44 \ s[/tex]
