Answer:
When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.
Answer:
(A) 10052.2 m/s²
(B) 0.00678 seconds
Explanation:
From the question,
(A) Applying
V² = U²+2as..................... Equation 1
Where V = Final velocity, U = Initial velocity, a = acceleration due to gravity, s = distance.
make a the subject of the equation
a = (V²-U²)/2s........................ Equation 2
Given: U = 0 m/s( from rest), V = 68 m/s, s = 0.230 m
Substitute these values into equation 2
a = (68²-0²)/(2×0.230)
a = 10052.2 m/s²
(B) Using,
a = (V-U)/t......................... Equation 3
Where t= time.
make t the subject of the equation
t = (V-U)/a......................... Equation 4
Given: V = 68 m/s, U = 0 m/s, a = 10052.2
Substitute into equation 4
t = (68-0)/10052.2
t = 0.00678 seconds
