A stone is dropped from the top of a tower. What is its velocity after 3.0 seconds?

kap26 [50]

For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.

3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.

That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.

What influences the strength of an electric field?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object.

Brut [27]

Complete part of Question: What is Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed just before she grabs Tarzan

Answer:

Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed just before she grabs Tarzan, w = 1.267 rad/s

Explanation:

According to the law of energy conservation:

Total change in kinetic energy = Total change in potential energy

Mass of Jane = 60 kg

Mass of the vine = 32 kg

Mass of Tarzan = 72 kg

Height of Tarzan = 5.50 m

Length of the vine = 8.50 m

Jane's change in gravitational potential energy,

$U_J = 60 * 9.8 * 5.5\\U_J = 3234 J$

Vine's gravitational potential energy,

$U_v = Mgh/2\\U_v = 32*9.8*5.5/2\\U_v = 862.4J$

Vine's Kinetic energy :

$KE_V = 0.5 I w^{2} \\I_V = \frac{ML^2}{3} = \frac{32 * 8.5^2}{3} = 770.67 kg m^2\\ KE_V = 0.5 *770.67 * w^{2}\\KE_V = 385.33 w^{2}$

Jane's Kinetic energy:

$KE_J = 0.5m(wL)^2\\KE_J = 0.5*60(w * 8.5)^2\\KE_J = 2167.5 w^2$

$U_J + U_V = KE_J + KE_V$

3234 + 862.4 = 2167.5w² + 385.33w²

4096.4 = 2552.83w²

w² = 4096.4/2552.83

w² = 1.605

w = √1.605

w = 1.267 rad/s

From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The init

Talja [164]

Answer:

$\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y$

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.
