Force can alter its direction,slow or stop it you could say it can change its velocity
Answer:
a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.
b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s
c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m
Explanation:
a) We have equation of motion
S = ut + 0.5at²
Here u = 0, and a = g
S = 0.5gt²
Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )
S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m
Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.
b) We have equation of motion
v² = u² + 2as
Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g
v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81
v = 38.36 m/s
Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s
c) We have S = 0.5gt²
75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²
t = 3.91 s
We need to find distance traveled last second
That is
S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m
Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m
Answer:
1) 0.43 meters per second
2) 0.21 meters per second
3) 1.02 
4) 0.66 seconds
Explanation:
part 1
By conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy (K) of the block is at equilibrium point where the potential energy is zero. So, at the equilibrium kinetic energy is equal to maximum potential energy (U):


With m the mass, v the speed, k the spring constant and xmax the maximum position respect equilibrium position. Solving for v

part 2
Again by conservation of energy we have kinetic energy equal potential energy:


part 3
Acceleration can be find using Newton's second law:

with F the force, m the mass and a the acceleration, but elastic force is -kx, so:


part 4
The period of an oscillator is the time it takes going from one extreme to the other one, that is going form 4.5 cm to -4.5 cm respect the equilibrium position. That period is:

So between 0 and 4.5 cm we have half a period:
