A rock falls off a 15 meter cliff. How fast is the rock traveling vertically two seconds later?

1 answer:

8 0

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s². That means that
an object falling under the influence of gravity will move 9.8 m/s
faster than it was moving a second earlier.

Falling from rest, it will be moving 9.8 m/s after the first second,
and 19.6 m/s after the 2nd second.

The height from which it fell doesn't matter.

Name three situations in which force is created. describe the cause of the force in each situation

Darina [25.2K]

One situation in which force is created is when an object is moving and a force is created to stop that movement. Second situation is when an object is moving circularly and a force is created to move it towards the middle of the circle. The third situation is when a force is created that goes in the same direction as an object that is in movement.

A ball with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s rolls up a hill without slipping. (a) Treating the ball as a spherical shell, calcul

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy
