How far below an initial straight-line path will a projectile fall in one second

Answer:

9.8 m

Explanation:

The rate of free fall of a body does not depend on its mass or shape in the absence of air resistance.  This property of gravitational force is proved by the famous leaning tower of Pisa experiment by Galileo.

The gravitational force is responsible for the gravitational acceleration of a body.

When considering the gravitational acceleration near the surface of Earth it has the constant value g = 9.8 m/s irrespective of the mass of the body.

This phenomenon states that every projectile falls at the same rate such that its velocity keeps on increasing to maintain the constancy of g.

So, when a projectile fall initially from a certain height for one second, it would have traveled only 9.8 m.

A 16.0 kg child on roller skates, initially at rest, rolls 2.0 m down an incline at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. If th
enyata [817]

The kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the child, m = 16 kg</em>
  • <em>Length of the incline, L = 2 m</em>
  • <em>Angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰</em>

The vertical height of fall of the child from the top of the incline is calculated as;

sin(20) = \frac{h}{2} \\\\h = 2 \times sin(20)\\\\h = 0.68 \ m

The gravitational potential energy of the child at the top of the incline is calculated as;

P.E = mgh\\\\P.E = 16 \times 9.8 \times 0.68\\\\P.E = 106.62 \ J

Thus, based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J since no energy is lost to friction.

What is hydraulic pressure?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Hydraulic pressure is actually the pressure that is exerted to liquid and the pressure gets transmitted throughout the liquid. Since liquid cannot be compressed, so the pressure that was exerted on the liquid gets transmitted to the walls of the container containing the liquid. This theory is applied to the braking system of cars and some other vehicles. This is known as the hydraulic pressure. It is actually the science that is concerned with the laws of movements of a fluid  and the application of this theory for engineering purpose. This theory has not only been used in cars but also in planes .
