A 650.0 kg boulder falls off a 56.0 m tall cliff on a planet that has a surface gravitational field of magnitude
N
23.6 - Assume that the planet has no atmosphere.
kg
What is the speed of the boulder just before it strikes the ground?

Respuesta :

Answer:

51.4 m/s

Explanation:

vf^2 = 2(23.6m/s^2)(56.0m)

vf = sqrt[2(23.6m/s^2)(56.0m)]

vf = 51.4 m/s

The speed of an object when it hits the ground from a given height on a given planet is required.

The speed of the boulder before it strikes the ground is 51.41 m/s.

m = Mass of boulder = 650 kg

s = Displacement = 56 m

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

Surface gravitational field  = [tex]23.6\ \text{N/kg}=23.6\dfrac{\dfrac{\text{kg m}}{\text{s}^2}}{\text{kg}}=23.6\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

This means surface gravitational field is acceleration due to gravity on the planet.

g = [tex]23.6\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

From the kinematic equations of motion we have

[tex]v^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gs+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 23.6\times 56+0}\\\Rightarrow v=51.41\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

The speed of the boulder before it strikes the ground is 51.41 m/s.
