vertical movement?
An orangutan throws a coconut vertically upwards at the foot of a cliff 40 meters high, while his teammate at the same time falls other coconut top of the cliff. the 2 coconuts hit at a height of 20 m wat was the initial speed of coconut is thrown upward.?
Find two equations describing the motion of each coconut. First, the coconut that fell just do not have the initial velocity, so its equation is like a, d = ^ 1/2at 2, where d is the distance traveled, one is the experience of acceleration, t is the second time, the coconut, which is thrown upward has an initial velocity … call v, resembles equation, v = d * t + ^ 2 The acceleration of each experience 1/2at coconut is the same, the acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m / s ^ 2. The coconut dropped from the top of the cliff "drops" of 20 meters, allowing you to call that a change in the distance of -20 m, and the coconut is thrown upward traveling Up to 20 meters. Solve these equations, first, the solution at the moment, and then use this value to find the initial velocity. As I worked, I found the air time before the collision was about 2.02 seconds and the initial velocity imparted to the coconut up was about 19.8 m / s. However, final answer is less important than understanding how to solve it.
