An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height H0 above the ground. The ground is cover

ed with a thick lawn, which is made of blades of grass of height h. When the apple enters the grass, it slows down at a constant rate so that its speed is 0 when it reaches ground level.
A)Find the speed of the apple just before it enters the grass

B) Find the acceleration of the apple while it is in the grass

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance travelled in the free fall is H - h  

Since the apple originally started from rest we can use v^2 =  u^2 + 2 x g x s  where v is the final velocity, g the accln due to gravity and s the distance travelled and u is the initial velocity = 0

So the velocity just before it enters the grass is sq rt [2 x g x (H - h)]

Once in the grass, it slows down at a constant rate which means that the acceleration (a) during this period is constant.

So once again using the same formula we have v = O and u = sq rt[2 x g x (H-h)]

so since v^2 = u^2 + 2 x a x s then  

O^2 = 2 x g x (H-h) + 2 x a x h

{O^2 - 2 x g x (H - h)}/(2 x h) = a

If the center of mass passes outside the area of support of an object, what will happen to it?
defon

Answer:

If a vertical line extending down from an object's CG extends outside its area of support, the object will topple

Explanation:

We can understand better this situation using a diagram with the forces acting on it.

In the attached image we can see that when the gravity center is bouncing outside from the area of the pedestal, the object will be out of balance and will fall.

Do any of the galaxies appear to be closer to each other as your universe expands? What does this say about the possibility of g
Luda [366]

Explanation:

In local galactic group the force of expansion of universe is overcome by the force of attraction due  to gravity. Best example is our own galaxy milky way and another giant galaxy in our local group Andromeda. Andromeda having enormous gravity is pulling milky way towards itself, overcoming the force of expansion.

So, there  are possibilities of collision despite the expansion of universe at a rapid pace. It is estimated that the milky way and Andromeda will collide each other after about 50 billion years from now.
