In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.
When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.
Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.
Define
u = 16 m/s, the vertical launch velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity, measured positive downward
s = vertical distance traveled
t = 21.2 s, total time of travel.
The vertical motion obeys the equation
s = ut - (1/2)gt²
When the rock is at ground level, s = 0.
Therefore
(16 m/s)(21.2 s) - 0.5*(g m/s²)*(21.2 s)² = 0
339.2 - 224.72g = 0
g = 1.5094 m/s²
Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity is 1.509 m/s² measured positive downward.
Velocity is speed plus the direction of the speed.
Answer:
12.7m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the diver = 77kg
Height = 8.18m
Unknown:
Final velocity = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use one of the motion equations.
v² = u² + 2gh
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height
v² = 0² + (2 x 9.8 x 8.18)
v² = 160.3
v = 12.7m/s
