Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.
Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.
This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:
If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time ! Even though
they'll be far apart.
Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.
Answer:
15.75 m
Explanation:
First, let's look at the top brick by itself. In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick. So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.
Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass. We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m. And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge. So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.
-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.
Speed = (original speed) + (gravity x falling time)
-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is
= (0) + (9.8 m/s² x 3 sec)
Velocity = 29.4 m/s downward .
Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.
The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4 m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction = PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.
Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.
Answer:
acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²
Explanation:
'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.
u = 0 m/s
After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.
t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s
Using
v = u + at
19.6 = 0 + 2a
a = 9.8 m/s²
