Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

A) 24.7 m, B) 28.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Hooke's law states the force of a spring is equal to the spring constant times the change in length:

F = k ΔL

Solving for k:

k = F / ΔL

The spring constant is inversely proportional to the length:

k ∝ 1/L

Therefore:

k₁ L₁ = k₂ L₂

(F₁ / ΔL₁) L₁ = k₂ L₂

(mg / 1.30) (5.00) = k L

k = (5.00/1.30) (mg / L)

Initial energy = final energy

Initial gravitational energy = final gravitational energy + elastic energy

mgH = mgh + 1/2 k (ΔL)²

mg(H - h) = 1/2 k (ΔL)²

mg(60.0 - 10.0) = 1/2 k (ΔL)²

50mg = 1/2 k (ΔL)²

100mg = k (ΔL)²

The stuntman will fall a distance L and then an additional distance ΔL.  We know this distance is equal to 60-10 = 50 m.  L + ΔL = 50, so ΔL = 50 - L.

100mg = k (50 - L)²

100mg = k (2500 - 100L + L²)

100mg = (5.00/1.30) (mg / L) (2500 - 100L + L²)

26L = 2500 - 100L + L²

0 = L² - 126L + 2500

L = (126 ± √5876) / 2

L = 63 ± √1469

L ≈ 24.7 m, 101 m

Obviously L can't be more than 50.0 m, so L = 24.7 m.

As a mass on a spring, the stuntman will follow simple harmonic motion, so his maximum acceleration will be experienced at his minimum velocity, or at the very bottom.

∑F = ma

k ΔL - mg = ma

(5.00/1.30) (mg / L) ΔL - mg = ma

(5.00/1.30) (g / L) ΔL - g = a

(5.00/1.30) (9.81 / 24.7) (50.0 - 24.7) - 9.81 = a

a = 28.9 m/s²

A 53.5-g Super Ball traveling at 27.5 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 21.5 m/s. A high-speed camera records this ev
Tema [17]

Answer:

<h3>12,098.77m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body. It is expressed as;

acceleration = change in velocity/time

acceleration a = v-u/t

Given

v = 27.5m/s

u = -21.5m/s (rebounds in the opposite direction)

time t = 4.05ms = 0.00405secs

Required

acceleration

Substitute the given values into the formula

a = 27.5-(-21.5)/0.00405

a = 27.5+21.5/0.00405

a = 49/0.00405

a = 12,098.77m/s²

Hence  the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval is 12,098.77m/s²
