Answer:
6.32m/s
Explanation:
note:Now these calculations are based in the fact that acc. due to gravity is 10m/s²
okay so I'm thinking you think the speed of a body depends on the mass of the body also,umh... well it doesn't at all!
when two bodies of different masses fall from the same height,they fall at the same time( this is just to say)
now enough of the talking let solve....
so the ball was dropped .ie from rest to the ground through a distance of 2m,
the formula for calculating the distance if a body moving in a straight line is given by:
S=ut + ½at² where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration ( of the body or due to gravity, but since its falling freely under the influence of gravity its " we use the acceleration due to gravity ,which is 10m/s²) and t is the time taken to cover the distance.
from our question the ball was dropped from rest thus its u is 0 therefore we use this equation to find the time it took to touch ground (S=½at²)
solving ....
we get t to be 0.632s
to find the speed we substitute t in the equation below:
V=u+at ,but since u=0
V=at =10•0.632=6.32m/s
therefore the speed the body uses to strike the ground is 6.32m/s
Answer: 13.2 seconds.
Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0
S= distance travelled
a = acceleration due gravity
t= time.
1 foot = 0.305m so,
S= 2860 feet =872.3m
S= ut+1/2 at²
872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²
872.3 =0 + 5t²
T²= 872.3/5
T²= 174.46
Take the square root of T we then have;
t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.
Answer:
mass × gravity ×height. so....that.. Ep = mgh. Ep= 35×9.8×5. Ep = 1715.
