A) Using:
2as = v² - u², where v will be 0 at max height
s = -(160)² / 2 x -32.174
s = 397.8 ft
b) Using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²
256 = 160t - 16.1t²
solving for t,
t = 2.0, t = 7.9
Now, v = u + at, for both times:
v(2) = 160 - 32.174(2)
v(2) = 95.7 ft/sec on the way up
v(7.9) = 160 - 32.174(7.9)
v(7.9) = -94.3 ft/sec; 94.3 ft/sec on the way down
c) -32.174 ft/s², which is the acceleration due to gravity.
d) s = 0
0 = 160t - 1/2 x 32.174t²
t = 9.94 seconds
Answer:
There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.
Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.
Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s
We have to find final velocity.
The equation we use is
Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time
Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s
We would round this to:
Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s
