A boy stands on the roof of a 15.0m tall building and throws a stone with a velocity of magnitude 30.0m/s at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal, you can ignore air resistance. Calculate (a) the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock (b) the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground and (c) the horizontal range from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.

Answer:

Your Answer

Explanation:

(a) At maximum height, i.e. at point P:

Vertical component of velocity v_y =0v

y

=0

Initial horizontal speed

x_{0x}=v_0cosθ \\ = 30 \times cos 33º \\ = 25.2 \;m/sx

0x

=v

0

cosθ

=30×cos33º

=25.2m/s

Initial vertical speed

v_{0y}=v_0sinθ \\ = 30 \times sin 33º \\ = 16.3 \;m/sv

0y

=v

0

sinθ

=30×sin33º

=16.3m/s

Let H be the maximum height reached by the rock, as measured from the roof.

v^2_y=v^2_{0y}-2gHv

Maximum height

H= \frac{v^2_{0y}}{2g} \\ = \frac{16.3}{2 \times 9.8} \\ = 13.6 \;mH=

(b) Magnitude of velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground

v = \sqrt{v^2_x+v^2_y} \\ v_x = v_{0x} \\ = 25.2 \;m/sv=

Time of flight (t) is given by

-h = v_{0y}t- \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\ 4.9t^2 -16.3t -15 =0 \\ t = \frac{16.3± \sqrt{16.3^2 + 4 \times 4.9 \times 15}}{9.8} \\ = \frac{16.3±23.7}{9.8}−h=v

= 4.08 s (ignoring the negative value)

v_y = 16.3 – 9.8 \times 4.08 \\ = -23.7 \;m/s \\ v = \sqrt{v^2_x + v^2_y} \\ = \sqrt{25.2^2 + (-23.7)^2} \\ = 34.6 \;m/sv
