Your annoying little brother is dropping rocks out of his bedroom window on the 2nd floor. You are on the ground floor and watch a rock fall past the patio door onto the ground below. In this problem, ignore air resistance. If the rock takes 0.28 s to cross the 2.3-m-high glass door, from what height above the top of the door was it dropped?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Too little information, please elaborate

Kinematics allows finding the height from where the stone was thrown 2.389m and the height measured from the door is Δy = 8.9 cm

given parameters

  • time it takes for the stone to cross the door y = 0.28 s
  • door height h = 2.3 m

to find

  • height from where the stone was dropped (y₀)

The kinematics allows us to find the relationships between the position, velocity and acceleration of the stone. Let's fix the reference system at the bottom of the door.

        y = y₁ + v₁ t - ½ g t²

where y and y₁ are the current and initial height of the stone, v₁ is the initial velocity, t is the time

They indicate that the stone is dropped and when it reaches the top of the door it has an initial velocity (v₁) and when it reaches the bottom of the setting its height is zero

       0 = y₁ + v₁ t - ½ g t²

       v₁ = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2} g t^2 - y_1}{t}[/tex]

         

we calculate

       v₁ = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2} \ 9.8 \ 0.28^2 - 2.3 }{0.28}[/tex]

       v₁ = -6.84 m / s

Now we can find out how high the stone is dropped so that it has this speed (v₁)

        v₁² = v₀² - 2 g y₀

       

how the stone is released if initial velocity is zero

       v₁² = 0 - 2g y₀

       y₀ = [tex]\frac{v-1^2}{2g}[/tex]

        y₀ = [tex]\frac{6.84^2}{2 \ 9.8}[/tex]

        y₀ = 2.389 m

since the door has h = 2.3 m the height over this distance is

          Δy = y₀ - h

          Δy = 2.389 - 2.3

          Δy = 0.089 m

The kinematics allows us to find the height from where the stone was thrown y₀ = 2.89 m and the height measured from the door is ΔY = 8.9 cm
