Object is dropped from the top of a building that is 1125 m tall at the point when it’s speed is 30 m/s how far has it fallen

-- Gravity makes a falling object fall 9.8 m/s faster every second.

-- So, it reaches the speed of 30 m/s in (30/9.8) = 3.06 seconds after it's dropped.

-- The distance an object falls from rest is D = 1/2 (acceleration) (time)²

D = 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (3.06 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (9.37 sec²)

<em>D = 45.8 meters</em>

Notice that we don't care how high the building is.  The problem works just as long as the object can reach 30 m/s before it hits the ground.  That  turns out to be anything higher than 45.8 meters for the drop . . . maybe something like 13 floors or more.

Now I'll go a little farther for you !  Writing the last paragraph made me a little curious and uncomfortable.  So I went and looked up the world's tallest buildings . . . and I found out that this problem could never happen !

The tallest building in the world now is the Burj Khalifa, in  Dubai.  It has 163 floors, and it's 828 meters high !  That's 2,717 feet.  It's gonna be a long time before there's a building that's 1125 meters tall, like this problem says.  That's close to 3700 feet . . . I've had flying lessons where I wasn't that far off the ground !

A ball is dropped and bounces off the floor. Its speed is the same immediately before and immediately after the collision. Which
Korolek [52]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B.

when the ball drops, the velocity of the ball before the collision is v

After the collision, the velocity of the ball is the same but in the opposite direction.

Impulse delivered to the ball and the floor, in this case, is not zero.

The magnitude of the momentum remains the same but the direction of the ball changes.
