1-3-3 Document tempDRB

The document contains three physics problems involving projectile motion. The first problem involves two balls being dropped and thrown upward to determine when they pass each other. The second problem involves two cars braking to determine the minimum distance needed to avoid collision. The third problem calculates the height a stone was dropped from by using the time it passed a window.

SAMPLE PROBLEM #3

A BALL IS DROPPED FROM THE TOP OF A TOWER 80 FT HIGH AT THE SAME INSTANT THAT A
SECOND BALL IS THROWN UPWARD FROM THE GROUND WITH AN INITIAL VELOCITY OF
40 FT/SEC
A. DETERMINE THE TIME ELAPSED WHEN THE TWO BALL PASS EACH OTHER
B. HOW HIGH ARE THE BALLS FROM THE GROUND WHEN THEY PASS EACH OTHER?
GIVEN:
Y=80 FT= 80 FT(0.3048M/1FT) = 24.384 M
V= 40 FT/S= 40 FT/S(0.3048M/1FT) = 12.192 M/S
G
G=9.81 M/S2
H FROM A TO C
H1 = VIT + ½ AT2
H1 = (0) + ½(9.81 M/S2 )T2
H1 = (4.905 M/S2 ) T2
H FROM B TO C
H2 = VIT + ½ AT2
H2 = 12.192 M/S T + ½( 9.81 M/S2 )T2
H2 = 12.192 M/S T +(-4.905 M/S2 ) T2
H= H1+H2
H= 12.192 M/S T +(4.905 M/S2 ) T2 +(4.905 M/S2 ) T2
24.384 M=12.192 M/S T+(4.905 M/S2 ) T2 +(-4.905 M/S2 ) T2
24.384 M=12.192 M/S T
T=12.192 M/S/24.384 M
T= 2 S
T=12.192 M/S/24.384 M
T= 2 S
H2 = 12.192 M/S (2) +( (4.905 M/S2 ) (2)2
H1 = 4.764 M = 15,630
SEATWORK:
CAR B IS TRAVELLING A DISTANCE D AHEAD OF CAR A. BOTH CARS ARE TRAVELLING AT 60 FT/S
WHEN THE DRIVER OF B SUDDENLY APPLIE THE BRAKES, CAUSING HIS CAR TO DECELERATE
12 FT/S2. IT TAKES THE DRIVER OF CAR A 0.75 SECONDS TO REACT. WHEN HE APPLIES HIS
BRAKES, HE DECELEERATES AT 15M/SEC2. DETERMINE THE MINIMUM DISTANCE OF THE CAR TO
AVOID COLLISO
AVOID COLLISION.
GIVEN:
CAR A:
Xi=0 + 60(.75) M
Vyi= 60 FT/S
A= -15FT/SEC2
CAR B:
Xi=D
Vyi= 60 FT/S
A= 12FT/SEC2
FOR CAR A
XF=Xi+VT+1/2(A)(T)2
XF=60M/S(.75S)+60(T-0.75)+1/2(-15FT/SEC2)(T-.75)2
XF=45+60T-45-4.21875-7.5 T2+11.25T
XF=-4.21875+60T+11.25T+7.5 T2
FOR CAR B:
XF=D+60FT/SEC(T)+1/2(12 FT/S2)(T)2
XF= D+60T+6T2
XF=XF
-4.21875+60T+11.25T+7.5 T2= D+60T+6T2
D=-4.21875+11.25T-1.5T2
SOLVE FOR T:
VF=VI+AT
FOR CAR A
VF=60+(-15)(T-.75)
FOR CAR B
VF=60+(-12)(T)
VF=VF
60+(-15)(T-.75)=60+(-12)(T)
-15T+11.25 =-12T
3T= 11.25 T=3.75S
D=-4.21875+11.25(3.75S )-1.5(3.75S )2
D=16.875M

A MAN STANDING AT A WINDOW 5 METERS TALL WATCHES A FALLING STONE PASS BY THE
WINDOW IN .3 SECONDS. FROM HOW HIGH ABOVE THE TOP OF THE WINDOW WAS THE STONE
RELEASED?
GIVEN:
H= 5 M
Vi= 0 M/S
G=9.81 M/S2
T = .3S
VF=VI+AT
VF=0+(9.81M/S2)(.3S)
VF=2.943 M/S
VF2=VI2+2(G)(Y)
(2.943 M/S+VI)2= VI2+2(9.81)(5)
VI2+5.885 VI+8.661249= VI2+98.1
VI=15.19516667 M/S
VF2=VI2+2(G)(Y)
15.195166672=02+2(9.81)(Y)
Y= 11.768M
