Determine the time needed for the load at b to attain a speed of 10 m/s, starting from rest.

1 answer:

5 0

Unfortunately, I can't give a definite answer because I only know two information: the initial velocity which is 0 because it is at rest, and the final velocity which is 10 m/s. To solve this, I should know one other information to determine time. It could be the constant acceleration. The useful equation to be used is:

a = (vf - v₀)/t

So, assuming that the object was dropped from a certain height, the acceleration is due to gravity which is equal to 9.81 m/s². Then,

9.81 = (10 - 0)/t
t = 1.02 seconds

Answer:

They are the same (assuming there is no air friction)

Explanation:

Take a look at the picture.

When the first ball (the one thrown upward) gets to the point marked as A, the speed will has the exact same value V but the velocity will now point downward (just like the second ball).

So if you think about it, the first ball, from point A to the ground, will behave exactly like the second ball (same initial speed, same height).

That is why the speeds will be the same when they reach the ground.
