Why does a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s?

A dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

s = vt - 1 / 2 at²

s = Displacement

v = Final velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

s = 5 m

t = 1 s

a = 10 m / s²

5 = ( v * 1 ) - ( 1 / 2 * 10 * 1 * 1 )

5 = v - 5

v = 10 m / s

The equation used to solve the given problem is an equation of motion. In a free fall motion, usually air resistance is not considered for easier calculation. If air resistance is considered acceleration cannot be constant throughout the entire motion.

Therefore, a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

a 2kg object is moving horizontally with a speed of 4 m/s.how much net force is required to keep the object moving at this speed
Elza [17]
If the object is moving in a straight line with constant speed,
that's a description of " acceleration = zero ".

Zero acceleration means zero net force on the object.

NO net force is 'required' to keep an object moving in a straight line
at constant speed.  In fact, if there IS any net force on the object,
then either its speed or its direction MUST change ... there's no way
to avoid it.

None of this depends on the object's mass, or on the speed or direction
of its motion.

What happens to the appearance of an object as it gets hotter?
lana [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When an object is heated then it becomes brighter and bluish compared to the initial condition. This happens because when an object is given heat then the electron in the ground state gets excited and reaches some higher state. After reaching a higher state electron make the transition to lower state and simultaneously exhibit the color which is visible with naked eyes.

Through what potential difference should electrons be accelerated so that their speed is 1.0 % of the speed of light when they h
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering non - relativistic approach : ----

Speed of electron = 1 % of speed of light

= .01 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s

= 3 x 10⁶ m /s

Kinetic energy of electron = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 3 x 10⁶ )²

= 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy in electron comes from lose of electrical energy equal to

Ve where V is potential difference under which electron is accelerated and e is electronic charge .

V x e = kinetic energy of electron

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 40.95 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 25.6 Volt .
