Can Acceleration and Motion Principles Solve These Physics Problems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on several physics problems related to acceleration and motion principles. The first question about the runners' speeds is deemed incorrect, while the second question regarding the ball's velocity and acceleration at the peak of its flight is confirmed as correct. For the third problem, the height from which an object was thrown is calculated to be 27 meters, but there is uncertainty about the answers for the fourth and fifth questions. The average speed for an 80.4 km trip is calculated as 107.2 km/h, and the velocity of a rock thrown upward is miscalculated, leading to confusion about whether it has hit the ground. Ultimately, the participant expresses a mix of frustration and relief upon realizing they can grasp the concepts more easily than initially thought.

Homework Statement



1.Two runners accelerate from rest with the acceleration of runner A twice that of runner B. After accelerating for a given time, the speed of runner A will be twice that of runner B.
is this right or wrong?

2.An ball is thrown vertically upward. At the top of its flight, both the ball's velocity and acceleration are zero.
Is this right or wrong?

3.An object is thrown downward with a speed of 10 m/s from a bridge. Accelerating under gravity (9.8 m/s2), the object strikes the water 1.8 s later. From what height above the water was the object thrown? (Assume 2 significant digits.)
what is the right answer?

4.A stone is thrown downward from a window. Accelerating under gravity (9.8 m/s2), the stone hits the ground 2.6 s later with a speed of 20.0 m/s. From what height above the ground was it thrown?
what is the right answer?

5.An 80.4-km trip takes a time of 0.75 h to complete. The average speed, expressed in the correct manner, is?

6.An rockis thrown vertically upward at 25.0 m/s. If it experiences an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s2 [down], what is the rock's velocity 3.0 s later?

Homework Equations



v2=v1+a(change in time)
v=d/t
(delta D)= v1(change in time) +1/2a (change in time)squared
there are some more that i probably don't know

The Attempt at a Solution



1. i got that number 1 is wrong
2.i got that number 2 is right
3. i got 27m
4,5,6 i had no clue

HELP ME FAST PLEASE!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
for question 4 i got 85m
 
for question 5 i got
107.2 i don't know which way is right is it
1)
1.1 × 102 km/h
2)
107.2 km/h
4 )
1 × 102 km/h
5)
1.072 × 102 km/h
 
for 6 i got -4.4
i used v2=v1 +a(change in time)
v2+25+(-9.8)(3.0)
i got -4.4
Therefore it has hit the ground?
 
1) is right. 2) is wrong. You tell me why. That's a really bad start. Those were easy. And it doesn't get better after that. You don't understand this stuff well enough for a quick answer to really help you. Ask these questions again, one at a time, when you have the time to actually learn this subject.
 
nvm i got it all
 
That's good. You learn quickly.
 
im stupid sometimes its so easy i think it can't be like that lol
