A flowerpot falls off a windowsill and falls past the window below. You may ignore air resistance It takes the pot 0.420 s to pass from the top to the bottom of this window, which is 1.90 m high.1. How far is the top of the window below the windowsill from which the flowerpot fell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the distance of the top of the window below the windowsill from which the flowerpot fell is 0.31 m

Explanation:

given information:

time, t = 0.420 s

height, h = 1.9 m

the the vertical motion equation:

h = [tex]v_{0}[/tex]t + [tex]\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}[/tex]

where

h = height (m)

[tex]v_{0}[/tex] = initial velocity (m/s)

t = time (s)

g = gravitational force (9.8 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex])

first we calculate the velocity of the flowers pot when it reaches top window

h = [tex]v_{0}[/tex]t + [tex]\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}[/tex]

1.9 = [tex]v_{0}[/tex](0.42) + ([tex]\frac{1}{2} 9.8 0.42^{2}[/tex])

[tex]v_{0}[/tex] = (1.9 - ([tex]\frac{1}{2} 9.8 0.42^{2}[/tex]))/0.42

   = 2.47 m/s

now we can find the distance of the windowsil

[tex]v^{2} =v_{0} ^{2}[/tex] + 2gh

v = 0, thus

2gh = - [tex]v_{0}^{2}[/tex]

h = -[tex]v_{0}^{2}[/tex]/2g

  = [tex](- 2.47^{2} )[/tex] / (2 x 9.8)

  = 0.31 m

The top of the window is 0.308m below the windowsill from which the flowerpot fell.

Let the initial velocity of the flowerpot at the top of the window be [tex]v[/tex].

Given that the height of the window [tex]h=1.9m[/tex] and the time taken to pass the window is [tex]t=0.42s[/tex]

so from the second equation of motion:

[tex]h=vt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

[tex]1.9=0.42v+0.5\times9.8\times(0.42)^2\\\\v=2.46m/s[/tex]

Now when the flowerpot falls from its original position, its initial velocity is [tex]u=0[/tex], let the distance between the position from where it falls and the top of the window be [tex]d[/tex],

so, applying the third equation of motion we get that:

[tex]v^2=u^2+2gd\\\\(2.46)^2=2\times9.8\times d\\\\d=0.308m[/tex]is the height above the top of the window from which the flowerpot falls.
