Capitolo 2, Problema 48d

A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.040.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. When is the velocity of the boulder zero?

Identify the type of motion: The boulder is undergoing vertical motion under the influence of gravity, which is a uniformly accelerated motion.
Understand that the velocity of the boulder will be zero at the peak of its trajectory. This is the point where the boulder stops ascending and is about to start descending.
Use the kinematic equation for velocity in uniformly accelerated motion: v=v0-gt, where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s2), and t is the time.
Set the final velocity v to zero to find the time at which the velocity is zero: 0=40.0-9.8t.
Solve the equation for t to find the time at which the velocity is zero: t=40.09.8.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Projectile Motion

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object thrown or projected into the air, subject to only the acceleration of gravity. In this scenario, the boulder is ejected vertically, and its motion can be analyzed using the principles of projectile motion, focusing on the vertical component.

Introduction to Projectile Motion

Initial Velocity

Initial velocity is the speed at which an object begins its motion. For the boulder, the initial velocity is 40.0 m/s upward. This value is crucial for calculating the time it takes for the boulder to reach its peak height, where its velocity becomes zero.

Escape Velocity

Acceleration due to Gravity

Acceleration due to gravity is the constant rate at which objects accelerate towards the Earth, approximately 9.8 m/s². It acts downward, opposing the boulder's upward motion, and determines how quickly the boulder slows down until its velocity reaches zero at the peak of its trajectory.

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10.010.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay=(2.80a_{y}=(2.80 m/s3)t)t, where the +y+y-direction is upward. What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t=10.0t = 10.0 s?
