help ASAP!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the maximum height achieved if a 0.500 kg mass is thrown straight upward with an initial speed of 85.0 m·s–1? Ignore the effect of air resistance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

saiffffffffffff :))

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

AlaaaaaaaaaaaaaA :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o_0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

too much screaming my throat hurts x_X

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

u = 85 a = -10m/s v = 0 s = ? v^2 = u^2 + 2as

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The mass in fact doesn't matter, kinetic energy into potential energy.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh man! Sorry for the throat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is that formula called ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

careful there @saifoo.khan ....

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

There are 3 basic formulas for motion: http://newton.burney.ws/physics/review/PhysicsEquations/kinematicseqs.gif

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

@lgbasallote , Ikr. I can smell something wrong too. @Ala123 , let me recheck.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[E_{kin}=E_{pot}\] \\ \[ \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh\] \[ h= \frac{v^2}{2g} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's actually a physics question so it's not that simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Conservation of energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:DDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understand what I did?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

My brain is in sleep mode. Sorry @Ala123 :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea kinda, you cancelled out the mass i see

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

this is the reason why physics questions shouldnt be put in mathematics group :p lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha that's ok @saifoo.khan :D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@saifoo.khan got humiliated because of it

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Btw, lgba's photo looks like a goat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeh @Ala123, gravitation doesn't really like mass in isolated systems, most of the time in cancels out *grins*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see, my answer is 7225 can you check?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just because I am curious, 85 m/s initial speed? That is so impressing. What a hulk.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

368.24 meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

definitely not a human being, if you need to add a comment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait..what did i do wrong o_0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Someone from the X-Men maybe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h=85^2/ 2(.500) isn't it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ h = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{85^2}{2*9.81} = 368.24 m\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where the 9.81 came from o_0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cheated with the units by the way, if you do this in a physics exam, always carry the units with you, sometimes it will help you to see if they cancel and your formula makes sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was always there, g = gravitation constant for the earth, 9.81 m/s^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh g = gravitation? i thought grams wow..... =.=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no no, all constants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a formula physicist only write constants, if they write units they write it in [brackets] to avoid confusion, doesn't always work though hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see..but this problem is actually my chemistry homework, soo weird o_0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha, that made me laugh *grins*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:DD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me try the next problem...kinda similar to this, will you check my answer though ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will give it a try, sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But if it is chemistry, I really can't help hehe, I managed to forget everything so quickly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 51.0 g piton from a height of 285 meters, what would its speed be just before striking the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost same problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for this problem..when you write the formula do you just cancelled out the "m" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it okay if I solve it in a physical way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah! the last problem was right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got crazy numbers..29070 m.s^-1
