What would be the speed of an object just before hitting the ground if dropped 100 meters?

Physics

<u>We are given:</u>

the initial height of the object (h) = 100 m

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

we will let the value of g = 10 m/s/s

<u>Speed of the object just before hitting the ground:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2ah     (where v is the final velocity)

replacing the variables, we get:

v² - (0)² = 2(10)(100)

v² = 2000

v = 10√20 = 44.7 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the object just before hitting the ground is 44.7 m/s

How can Newton's laws be applied to protect a smartphone screen during a collision?
Sonja [21]

smartphones break due to forces acting on the material.

force causes material to deform.

material is often brittle and cracks due to a limit on hardness / electricity in screens.

newton's 2nd law states

force = DV / DT

to help phones we must slow down change in momentum to reduce the force

thus we must use some form of damping in the form of a case .

the case is typically able to deform and rubber is elastic converting the kinetic energy to heat as it deforms instead of transferring it through the screen.

therefore the change in velocity occurs over a longer time. therefore the impulse decreases
