MHB 4-39 magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the calculations related to a water balloon thrown downward from a building. After 2 seconds, the speed of the balloon is calculated to be 27.6 m/s, and it falls a distance of 31.6 meters in that time. The magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0 meters is determined to be 15.2 m/s. The calculations utilize motion formulas for speed and distance, considering the initial velocity and acceleration due to gravity. The discussion also highlights the importance of correctly applying these formulas for accurate results.

a) what is its speed after falling to 2.00s
motion formula $v=u+at$
so
$v = 6.00 \dfrac{m}{s}
+ 9.81 \dfrac{m}{s^{\cancel{2}}}{2.00 \cancel{s}}
= 27.6 \dfrac{m}{s}$
b) How far does it fall in 2.00s
distance formula $d= ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$
so
$d=6.00\dfrac{m}{\cancel{s}}\cdot 2.00\cancel{s}
+ \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 9.81 \dfrac{m}{s^{\cancel{2}}}{(2.00s)^2}
=12.00m+19.62m=31.6m$
c) What is the magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m?
graph $a-t, v-t, \textit{ and } y-t$ graphs for the motion.

ok don't have book answer to these and a little ?? on c} and graph

What information does the original problem statement give prior to asking parts (a), (b), and (c)?
 
4-39 A student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building. The balloon leaves the thrower's had with a speed of $6.00 m/s$ Air resistance may by ignored, so the water balloon is in free fall after it leaves the throwers hand

a) what is its speed after falling to 2.00s
motion formula is $v=u+at$
so
$v = 6.00 \dfrac{m}{s}
+ 9.81 \dfrac{m}{s^{\cancel{2}}}{2.00 \cancel{s}}
= 27.6 \dfrac{m}{s}$

c) ?

(a) $v(t) = v_0 - gt$

$v(2) = -6 - g(2) = -25.6 \, m/s$

speed is $|v| = |-25.6| = 25.6 \, m/s$

(b) $\Delta y = v_0 t - \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$\Delta y = -6(2) - \dfrac{1}{2}g(2^2) = -31.6 \, m$

(c) $v_f^2 = v_0^2 - 2g \Delta y$

$v_f = -\sqrt{(-6)^2 - 2g(-10)} = -15.2 \, m/s$

$|v_f| = 15.2 \, m/s$
 
ok, much mahalo

look like I didn't subtract :eek:
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
