Physics Exam Solutions

Problem 1: Stone Thrown Straight Up

A stone is thrown straight up from the top of a building with an initial speed (\(v_0\)) of 25.0 m/s from a height (\(h_0\)) of 55.0 m.

(a) How far above the ground will the stone go?

The maximum height (\(h_{max}\)) above the launch point can be calculated using the following kinematic equation:
\[
v^2 = v_0^2 - 2g(h_{max})
\]
Where:
- \(v = 0\) (at the maximum height)
- \(g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2\) (acceleration due to gravity)
Substituting the values:
\[
0 = (25)^2 - 2(9.8)(h_{max})
\]
\[
625 = 19.6h_{max} \rightarrow h_{max} = \frac{625}{19.6} \approx 31.89 \, \text{m}
\]
The total height above the ground is:
\[
H = h_0 + h_{max} = 55 + 31.89 \approx 86.89 \, \text{m}
\]

(b) How long until the stone hits the ground?

To find the total time in flight, we first calculate the time to reach the maximum height:
\[
v = v_0 - gt \implies 0 = 25 - 9.8t
\]
\[
t_{up} = \frac{25}{9.8} \approx 2.55 \, \text{s}
\]
Next, we calculate the time taken to fall from the maximum height back to the ground. The stone falls a total height of 86.89 m. Using the equation:
\[
h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2
\]
\[
86.89 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2
\]
\[
t^2 = \frac{86.89 \times 2}{9.8} \rightarrow t_{down} \approx 4.2 \, \text{s}
\]
Total time until the stone hits the ground is:
\[
t_{total} = t_{up} + t_{down} \approx 2.55 + 4.2 \approx 6.75 \, s
\]

(c) What is the speed of the stone just before it hits the ground?

Using the kinematic equation:
\[
v^2 = v_0^2 + 2gh
\]
Where \(h\) is the height fallen (86.89 m may be used here),
\[
v^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(86.89)
\]
Solving gives:
\[
v \approx \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 86.89} \approx 13.34 \, \text{m/s}
\]

(d) Comparisons of downward motion

When throwing downward with initial speed 25.0 m/s:
The speed when the ball hits the ground can be evaluated by considering the additional distance and speed gained by downward motion, leading to a speed greater than that just after descending the original height (h):
Thus, the speed \(\text{just before hitting the ground}\) will indeed be greater than the speed achieved by the stone thrown upward before impacting the ground.

Problem 2: Projectile Motion

A ball is thrown from the top of a building 40 m high at an angle of 20 degrees with a speed of 15 m/s.

(a) Maximum height above the ground

The vertical component of the initial velocity is:
\[
v_{0y} = 15 \sin(20^\circ) \approx 5.13 \, \text{m/s}
\]
Using the maximum height formula:
\[
H = h_0 + \frac{v_{0y}^2}{2g}
\]
\[
H = 40 + \frac{(5.13)^2}{2 \times 9.8} \approx 40 + 1.29 \approx 41.29 \, \text{m}
\]

(b) Speed at maximum height

The vertical velocity \(v_y\) equals 0 at maximum height, leaving only the horizontal component:
\[
v_{0x} = 15 \cos(20^\circ) \approx 14.09 \, \text{m/s}
\]
Speed at maximum height is:
\[
v = v_{0x} = 14.09 \, \text{m/s}
\]

(c) Direction at maximum height

The direction of velocity at maximum height is horizontal (\(0^\circ\)).

(d) Horizontal distance at ground impact

This requires the time of flight (\(t\)), calculated by the complete vertical displacement,
\[
t = \frac{v_{0y} + \sqrt{(v_{0y})^2 + 2gh}}{g}
\]
Substituting yields,
\[
t \approx 1.88 \, \text{s}
\]
The horizontal distance covered is:
\[
x = v_{0x} \cdot t \approx 14.09 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 1.88 \approx 26.45 \, \text{m}
\]

(e) Speed just before hitting the ground

Calculate the vertical speed upon impact using:
\[
v_{y} = v_{0y} - gt \approx 5.13 - 9.8 \cdot t
\]
Calculate speed:
\[
v = \sqrt{v_{0x}^2 + v_y^2}
\]
Final impact speed will hence be obtained following this hint with values substituted as required.
