CP Bang! A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed.

However, a wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the firecracker a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. As a result, the firecracker reaches the ground directly below the student. Determine the height h in terms of v, a, and g. Ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion.

Answer:

 h = v₀ g / a

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the kinematic equations. As they indicate that the air does not influence the vertical movement, we can find the time it takes for the body to reach the floor

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The vertical start speed is zero

            t² = 2t / g

The horizontal document has an acceleration, with direction opposite to the speed therefore it is negative, the expression is

            x = v₀ₓ t - ½ a t²

Indicates that it reaches the same exit point x = 0

           v₀ₓ t = ½ a t2

           v₀ₓ = ½ a (2h / g)

           v₀ₓ = v₀

           h = v₀ g / a

maw [93]

Answer:

L/T^2.

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is defined as the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, temperature etc.) and units of measure (such as miles vs. kilometers, pounds vs. kilograms etc.).

F = m * a

kg(m/s^2) = kg * a

In dimensions,

a = L/T^2.

Which of the following is the best definition of gravity?
IRISSAK [1]

In physics, gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth. The noun gravity can also mean seriousness or solemnity. Someone who conducts themselves with an air of gravity is someone who takes what they are doing seriously.

The choices above are social psychology terms that help describe the people’s actions in their everyday interaction with people. The sentence example is:   Those computer geeks are all the same.

They spend all day playing video games and programming their computers to serve them breakfast. I don't think I've ever seen one reading a real book or throwing a baseball. Why, they're almost like machines!
