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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Studentka2010 [4]

In zero order reactions the rate of reaction is independent of reactant concentrations. That is the rate of the reaction does not vary with increasing nor decreasing reactants concentrations. On the other hand, first order reaction are reactions in which the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reacting substance (reactants). In this case, i believe the rate of reaction will triple( increase by a factor of 3)

Answer:

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

Eo = Ef

½ m1v² - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

v² = 2G $M_{earth}$ (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity 1 / Rinf = 0

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved

Em = -G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

Em = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

R = int ⇒ Em = 0
