4-39 magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m

In summary, a student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building with a speed of 6.00m/s. After 2.00 seconds, its speed is 25.6m/s and it has fallen 31.6m. After falling 10.0m, its magnitude of velocity is 15.2m/s. Air resistance is ignored in this scenario.

a) what is its speed after falling to 2.00s
motion formula $v=u+at$
so
$v = 6.00 \dfrac{m}{s}
+ 9.81 \dfrac{m}{s^{\cancel{2}}}{2.00 \cancel{s}}
= 27.6 \dfrac{m}{s}$
b) How far does it fall in 2.00s
distance formula $d= ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$
so
$d=6.00\dfrac{m}{\cancel{s}}\cdot 2.00\cancel{s}
+ \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 9.81 \dfrac{m}{s^{\cancel{2}}}{(2.00s)^2}
=12.00m+19.62m=31.6m$
c) What is the magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m?
graph $a-t, v-t, \textit{ and } y-t$ graphs for the motion.

ok don't have book answer to these and a little ?? on c} and graph

What information does the original problem statement give prior to asking parts (a), (b), and (c)?

4-39 A student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building. The balloon leaves the thrower's had with a speed of $6.00 m/s$ Air resistance may by ignored, so the water balloon is in free fall after it leaves the throwers hand

a) what is its speed after falling to 2.00s
motion formula is $v=u+at$
so
$v = 6.00 \dfrac{m}{s}
+ 9.81 \dfrac{m}{s^{\cancel{2}}}{2.00 \cancel{s}}
= 27.6 \dfrac{m}{s}$

c) ?

The balloon leaves the thrower's had with a speed of [FONT=MathJax_Main]6.00[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]m[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]/[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]s[/FONT] Air resistance may by ignored, so the water balloon is in free fall after it leaves the throwers hand

(a) $v(t) = v_0 - gt$

$v(2) = -6 - g(2) = -25.6 \, m/s$

speed is $|v| = |-25.6| = 25.6 \, m/s$

(b) $\Delta y = v_0 t - \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$\Delta y = -6(2) - \dfrac{1}{2}g(2^2) = -31.6 \, m$

(c) $v_f^2 = v_0^2 - 2g \Delta y$

$v_f = -\sqrt{(-6)^2 - 2g(-10)} = -15.2 \, m/s$

$|v_f| = 15.2 \, m/s$

ok, much mahalo

look like I didn't subtract :eek:
 

Related to 4-39 magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m

1. What is the meaning of "4-39 magnitude" in this context?

The "4-39 magnitude" refers to the range of possible values for the velocity of an object after falling 10.0m. It indicates that the velocity could be anywhere between 4 and 39 units, depending on the specific circumstances of the fall.

2. How is the magnitude of velocity related to the distance fallen?

The magnitude of velocity is directly related to the distance fallen. In this case, the magnitude of velocity after falling 10.0m could be anywhere between 4 and 39 units, depending on the acceleration of gravity and the initial velocity of the object.

3. What is the unit of measurement for "4-39 magnitude"?

The unit of measurement for "4-39 magnitude" is not specified in this context. It could refer to any unit of velocity, such as meters per second or kilometers per hour. The unit would need to be specified in order to accurately interpret the magnitude of velocity.

4. How is the magnitude of velocity calculated after falling 10.0m?

The magnitude of velocity after falling 10.0m can be calculated using the equation v^2 = u^2 + 2as, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity, and s is the distance fallen. The magnitude of velocity would be the absolute value of v, as it represents the speed of the object.

5. Can the magnitude of velocity be negative in this scenario?

Yes, the magnitude of velocity can be negative in this scenario. If the object is initially moving downwards, its velocity would be negative and could decrease further as it falls 10.0m. However, the magnitude of velocity would still be positive, as it represents the speed of the object regardless of its direction.
