Answer:  t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Explanation: The time taken by the object to reach the ground depends up on the vertical velocity of the object.

The object horizontal velocity component only moves the object in forward direction and does not have any effect vertically

as the object is launched horizontally its initial vertical velocity is zero

u_y=0

the object experiences downward fall due to gravitational acceleration only since there is no air resistance

therefore a=g

the distance covered =s=h

now the kinematic equation could be used

h=u_yt+0.5at^2\\h=0+0.5gt^2\\h=\frac{gt^2}{2}\\t^2=\frac{2h}{g} \\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

How does this relate to Newton's second law?
taurus [48]

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.

A cat is shot horizontally out of a cannon that is on top of a 125 meter tall cliff. If the cat lands 286 m away from the base o
Elden [556K]

The initial velocity of the cat is 56.6 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cat is a projectile motion, consisting of:

- a uniform horizontal motion with constant velocity

- a vertical accelerated motion with constant acceleration (free fall)

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, to find the time it takes for the cat to reach the ground. We use the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where we have (choosing downard as positive direction)

s = 125 m is the vertical displacement of the cat

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time taken to reach the ground

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(125)}{9.8}}=5.05 s

Now we can analzye the horizontal motion. Since the motion is uniform and the horizontal velocity is constant, it is given by

v_x =\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 286 m is the horizontal distance travelled

t = 5.05 s is the time taken

Solving the equation,

v_x = \frac{286}{5.05}=56.6 m/s
