Add force to unbalance the forces
A hypothesis can be described as an intelligent guess
When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.
Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces.
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.
Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth. One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth. We call that force "your weight".
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you. Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !
Answer:
- <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>
Explanation:
For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf
- Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2
Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:
- Average speed = distance / time
Then:
Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:
Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)
Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:
From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s
(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s
- Vf + Vi = 90.634 equation 1
From Vf = Vi + a×t
Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)
- Vf - Vi = 64.876 equation 2
Adding the two equations:
- Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
