n a room where g = 9.81 m/s2, a hockey puck slides off the edge of a platform with an initial velocity of 28.0 m/s horizontally. The height of the platform above the ground is 2.00 m. What is the speed of the puck just before it hits the ground? The air resistance is negligibly small.

Respuesta :

Answer:

28.695 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken by the puck to fall the height

u = Initial velocity of the puck = 28 m/s

v = Final velocity of the puck

s = Displacement of the puck = 2 m

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2+28^2}\\\Rightarrow v=28.695\ m/s[/tex]

The speed with which the puck will hit the ground is 28.695 m/s

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

they try to trick you by giving you the velocity in the x-axis but you are trying to find the velocity of the y-axis once it hits the ground.

Given:

Initial V₀ₓ= 28 m/s

inital V₍₀y₎ = 0 m/s

height = 2m

acceleration (gravity)= 9.8 m/s²

Find: final V₍y₎

V²-(V₀y)²=2as

V₀y = 0

∴ V²=2as

V²=2×(9.8 m/s²)(2m)

V = √39.2 m²/s²

V = 6.26 m/s
