A heavy object is dropped from a vertical height of 8.0 m. What is its speed when it hits the ground?

1 answer:

5 0

What do you know:
d=-8.0mm (starts higher and ends lower so it is negative)
Vi=0m/s (because it was dropped, not thrown)
A=-9.8m/s^2 (gravity)
Vf=???
Use the equation:
Vf^2=Vi^2+2A(d)
Vf^2=2(-9.8)(-8.0)
Vf^2= 156.8 -->find the square root of this
Final answer: Vf= 12.5m/s

The box leaves position x=0x=0 with speed v0v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at posit

const2013 [10]

Answer:

fr = ½ m v₀²/x

Explanation:

This exercise the body must be on a ramp so that a component of the weight is counteracted by the friction force.

The best way to solve this exercise is to use the energy work theorem

W = ΔK

Where work is defined as the product of force by distance

W = fr x cos 180

The angle is because the friction force opposes the movement

Δk = $K_{f}$ –K₀

ΔK = 0 - ½ m v₀²

We substitute

- fr x = - ½ m v₀²

fr = ½ m v₀²/x
