Ch 02: Motion Along a Straight Line

문제 36a

2장, 문제 36a

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of $22.0$ m/s from the edge of the roof of a $30.0$ -m-tall building. The rock doesn't hit the building on its way back down and lands on the street below. Ignore air resistance. What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street?

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the initial conditions: The initial velocity of the rock is 22.0 m/s upward, and it is thrown from a height of 30.0 m above the street.

Use the kinematic equation for velocity to find the final speed just before the rock hits the street. The equation is:

v = v

₀+gt, where

v

is the final velocity,

v

₀ is the initial velocity,

g

is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and

t

is the time of flight.

To find the time of flight, use the kinematic equation for displacement:

y = y

₀+v₀t+12gt^2, where

y

is the final position (0 m, since it lands on the street),

y

₀ is the initial position (30.0 m), and solve for

t

Substitute the value of

t

obtained from the displacement equation into the velocity equation to find the final velocity

v

Remember that the final speed is the magnitude of the final velocity, so take the absolute value of

v

to find the speed just before the rock hits the street.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Kinematics Equations

Kinematics equations describe the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion. For vertical motion, these equations relate initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration due to gravity, displacement, and time. They are essential for calculating the speed of the rock just before it hits the street.

Conservation of Energy

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. In this scenario, the rock's initial kinetic energy and potential energy are converted into kinetic energy as it falls. This concept helps determine the rock's speed upon impact by equating initial and final energy states.

Gravitational Acceleration

Gravitational acceleration is the acceleration of an object due to Earth's gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s² downward. It affects the rock's motion as it travels upward and downward, influencing its velocity and displacement. Understanding this constant is crucial for applying kinematics equations to solve the problem.
