Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with aspeed of 16.0 \rm {m/s}; the other is thrown in adirection 30.0^\circ below the horizontal with thesame speed.
Part A
Which stone spends more time in the air?(Neglect air resistance.)
The stone thrown upward
Part B
Which stone lands farther away from the building? (Neglect air resistance.)
They would land in the same spot correct? just at different times...?

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

Part A)

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)θ1 is the first angle, 30°θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

$y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}$

$0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2}$ (1)

For the second stone

$0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$

$0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}$ (2)

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

$t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

$t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}$

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

First stone

$x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}$

Second stone

$x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}$

$x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}$

$x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}$

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
