Answer
20 m
(a)
Step 1: Maximum height formula for vertical throw upwards.
At maximum height, , m/s, m/s.
Step 2: Substitute values.
Step 3: Simplify.
m
(b)
Step 1: Time to maximum height formula.
At maximum height, .
Step 2: Substitute values.
Step 3: Simplify.
s
(c)
Step 1: Total time to return to starting point is twice the time to max height (symmetric motion).
s
(d)
Step 1: Velocity on return: magnitude same as initial, direction downward.
m/s (downward)
(a)
Step 1: Free fall from height m, , m/s. Velocity on ground.
Step 2: Substitute values.
Step 3: Simplify.
m/s
(b)
Step 1: Time of fall formula.
Step 2: Substitute values.
Step 3: Simplify.
s
Step 1: Body falls freely for 2 s, then parachute opens, deceleration m/s until stop. Find total distance.
First phase: free fall s, , m/s.
m
m/s
Step 2: Second phase: from m/s to , m/s. Time .
s
Step 3: Distance second phase.
m
Step 4: Total distance.
m
Step 1: Elevator acceleration m/s upward, cable breaks, now m/s. Was ascending at m/s. Time to stop relative to ground.
Net acceleration now downward regardless. But since ascending, time to stop.
s
Step 1: Train from rest, m/s for 30 s, then constant . Distance in 1 min = 60 s.
First phase: s.
m/s
m
Step 2: Second phase: s, constant m/s.
m
Step 3: Total distance.
m
