It would fall under Mathematics
This problem can be solved using a kinematic equation. For this case, the following equation is useful:
v_final = v_initial + at
where,
v_final = final velocity of the nail
v_initial = initial velocity of the nail
a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
t = time
First, we determine the time it takes for the nail to hit the ground. We know that the initial velocity is 0 m/s since the nail was only dropped. It has a final velocity of 26 m/s. We substitute these values to the equation and solve for t:
26 = 0 + 9.8*t
t = 26/9.8 = 2.6531 s
The problem asks the velocity of the nail at t = 1 second. We then subtract 1 second from the total time 2.6531 with v_final as unknown.
v_final = 0 + 9.8(2.6531-1) = 16.2004 m/s.
Thus, the nail was traveling at a speed of 16. 2004 m/s, 1 second before it hit the ground.
According to my examination I have confirmed that I do NOT repeat do NOT know this.
The <span>researchers </span>might not get accurate results because of the following points:
1) The students may lie about the drug use.
2) The students may write correct information and might later feel guilty of writing the truth.
3) High school Students dont know much about drug types and its usage.
4) This task must be conducted in person, with students.
