Ksenya-84 [330]3 years ago

Explanation:

It is given that,

A ball hits the ground at 40 m/s

Let h is the height from where you drop a ball. It is based on the conservation of energy as :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\\text{Putting all the values in above formula}\\\\h=\dfrac{40^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=81.63\ m

It is dropped from a height of 81.63 m.

Let it take t seconds to hit the ground. When it hits the ground, its final speed, v = 0 and u = 40 m/s. So,

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=(\dfrac{2h}{g})^{1/2}\\\\t=(\dfrac{2\times 81.63}{9.8})^{1/2}\\\\t=4.08\ s

So, it will take 4.08 seconds to hit the ground.

What's the difference between meteoroids, meteorites, and meteors?
SVEN [57.7K]

You're talking about a grain of sand or a stone or a rock that's drifting in space, and then the Earth happens to get in the way, so the stone falls down to Earth, and it makes a bright streak of light while it's falling through the atmosphere and burning up from the friction.

-- While it's drifting in space, it's a <em>meteoroid</em>.

-- While it's falling through the atmosphere burning up and making a bright streak of light, it's a <em>meteor</em>.

-- If it doesn't completely burn up and there's some of it left to fall on the ground, then the leftover piece on the ground is a <em>meteorite</em>.
