A dynamite blast at a quarry launches a rock straight upward, and 1.8 s later it is rising at a rate of 12 m/s. Assuming air resistance has no effect on the rock, calculate its speed (a) at launch and (b) 5.4 s after launch.
Let us consider upwards as positive and downwards as negative.
Gravitational acceleration = g = -9.81 m/s2
Velocity of the rock at launch = V0
Velocity of the rock 1.8 sec after launch = V1 = 12 m/s
T1 = 1.8 sec
V1 = V0 + gT1
12 = V0 + (-9.81)(1.8)
V0 = 29.658 m/s
Velocity of the rock 5.4 sec after launch = V2
V2 = V0 + gT2
V2 = 29.658 + (-9.81)(5.4)
V2 = -23.316 m/s
The negative sign indicates the rock is moving downwards.
We are asked for the speed (magnitude) of the rock therefore it will be positive.
a) Speed of the rock at launch = 29.658 m/s
b) Speed of the rock 5.4 sec after launch = 23.316 m/s

A dynamite blast at a quarry launches a chunk of rock straight upward, and 2.1 s later it is rising at a speed of 20 m/s. Calculate its speed (a) at launch and (b) 4.2 s after the launch. Let's model this situation as if it's a case of constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s downward at launch at 4.2 s after launch m/s

A rock is thrown straight vertically upward with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. Ignore energy lost to air friction. The rock will rise to a maximum height of The velocity of the rock at half that maximum height is A Hooke's law spring is compressed 12 cm from equilibrium and the potential energy stored is 3.6 J. The spring constant in this case is The spring is then used to launch a mass of 50 gram along a frictionless...
A catapult on a cliff launches a large round rock towards a ship on the ocean below. The rock leaves the catapult from a height 33.5 m above sea level, directed at an angle 48 degrees above the horizontal, and with a speed 24.7 m/s. Assuming that air friction can be neglected, calculate the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile. ---- --- -------0) ) )))
