Which would fall with greater acceleration in a vacuum a leaf or a stone?

2 answers:

Because its a vacuum, there's no air resistance, they will fall at same time
Applying gravity acceleration rule g=9.8m/s which is taken as 10m/s sometimes.

Answer:

They will both have the same acceleration

Explanation:

Because its a vacuum, which ordinarily means it will be closed (unless otherwise stated), there will be no opposing forces (like air interference) to each of there acceleration due to gravity - each of them will have an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s2 (or approximately 10 m/s2) and will hit the "ground" at the same time if "dropped" at the same time.

Here, the masses will not be considered because there are no obstructions/opposing forces.

This question is incomplete the complete question is

A diver bounces straight up from a diving board, avoiding the diving board on the way down, and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s and her takeoff point is 1.80 m above the pool. (a) What is her highest point above the board? (b) How long a time are her feet in the air? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

Answer:

(a) Xs=0.459m

(b) t=0.984 s

Explanation:

(a) To reach maximum distance

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}\\ Vf=0\\v_{b}^{2}=v_{a}^{2}+2gx_{s} \\ x_{s}=\frac{0-(3^{2} )}{-2*9.8}\\ x_{s}=0.459m$

(b) For Time

To find t we must find t1 and t2

t=t1+t2

For T1

$t_{1}=(Vb-Va)/g \\t_{1}=(0-3)/9.8\\t_{1}=0.306s$

For T2

$x_{l}=Vbt+(1/2)gt_{2}^{2}\\ as\\x_{l}=x_{1}+x_{s}\\x_{l}=1.8+0.459\\x_{l}=2.259\\so\\t_{2}=\frac{2.259*2}{9.8} \\t_{2}=0.6789s$

For Total Time

t=t1+t2

t=0.306+0.6789

t=0.984s

(c) To find Vc

Vc=Vb+gt2

Vc=(0)+(9.8)(0.6789)

Vc=6.65 m/s

vlada-n [284]

Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3 meters per second
