Answer:
1min since there is no gravity on the moon so it will take time to drop on the moon.
Explanation:
La magnitud es de 9.8 m/s² ... la aceleración de la gravedad en o cerca de la superficie de la Tierra.
La dirección es hacia el centro de la Tierra. (Llamamos a esa dirección "abajo").
Answer:
Speed is the rate at which an object's position changes, measured in meters per second. The equation for speed is simple: distance divided by time
Explanation:
Is the velocity constant? Is there any friction?
3 meters per second
then after 40 seconds it must 3*40 = 120 meters
120 meters or 0.12 km if you will
Answer:
b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?
Let´s take a look at the height function:
h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²
Where
h0 = initial height
v0 = initial velocity
t = time
g = acceleration due to gravity
Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.
Another way to see it (without calculus):
When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.
