If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?

" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by  20 m/s
every second.

That's the answer to your question.  Now, let me ask you
another one:

How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?

Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea.  But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.

How would you do it ?  How can you measure the rock's speed ?

The skateboarder will have the greatest potential energy at point <em>G.</em>

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. The gravitational potential energy of a body is given by the expression,

E_P=mgh

Here, <em>m</em> is the mass of the body, <em>g</em> the acceleration due to gravity and <em>h</em> is the height of the body from the ground.Thus as <em>h</em> increases, the potential energy increases.

From the figure, it can be seen that the highest point in the skateboarder's trajectory is <em>G.</em> hence, he would have the highest potential energy at the point <em>G.</em>

How does acceleration due to gravity changes wit depth?
ivann1987 [24]

Decreases

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on a body decreases with depth.

Acceleration due to gravity is the change in velocity with time of a body as result of the pull of gravity or gravitational force.

  • The acceleration due to gravity tend to pull all bodies to the center of the earth.
  • As body moves away from the center of the earth, the pull becomes very more and acceleration increase.
  • But when a body approaches the center of the earth, the acceleration reduces.
  • At depth, the acceleration due to body of a body begins to decrease.

A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mar
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

0.705 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The sprinter accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mark.

Using newton's law of motion:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = initial velocity = 0 km/h,  s = distance = 67 m

9.72² = 0² + 2a(67)

134a = 94.484

a = 0.705 m/s²

b) The sprinter maintains this speed of 35 km/h for the next 88 meters. Therefore:

v = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, s = 88 m

v² = u² + 2as

9.72² = 9.72² + 2a(88)

176a = 9.72² - 9.72²

a = 0

c) During the last distance, the speed slows down from 35 km/h to 32 km/h.

u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s, s = 200 - (67 + 88) = 45 m

v² = u² + 2as

8.89² = 9.72² + 2a(45)

90a = 8.89² - 9.72²

90a = -15.4463

a = -0.1716 m/s²

The maximum acceleration is 0.705 m/s² which is from 0 to 67 m mark.
