Suppose Galileo dropped a lead ball (100 kilograms) and a glass ball (1 kilogram) from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Which one hit

the ground first? (Assume that there is no air resistance.)

IF there is no air resistance, then he could drop a feather, a piece
of Kleenex, a school bus, and a battleship.  If he dropped them all
at the same time from the same height, they would all hit the ground
at the same time.

Assuming there is no air resistance and the experiment took pace in a controlled environment, both the lead ball and the glass ball would hit the ground at the same time.

a 68 kg skydiver with a parachute falls at constant velocity for 100 m how much work does the earth do on the skydiver
Ulleksa [173]
<span>The earth does no work on her if she's falling in the direction of frictional force. But suppose it does work on the woman i.e in the opposite direction, N. Then we have F = mg where g is acceleration due to grav. So F = 68 * 9.8 = 666.4 Newton. Then work done = force * distance = 666.4 * 100 = 666400</span>

A person jumps out a fourth-story window 14 m above a firefighter safety net. The survivor stretches the net 1.8 m before coming
Monica [59]

Answer:

The deceleration is  a =  - 76.27 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height above  firefighter safety net is H  = 14 \ m

   The length by which the net is stretched is s =  1.8 \ m

   

From the law of energy conservation

    KE_T + PE_T =  KE_B + PE_B

 Where KE_T is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )

   and  PE_T is the potential energy of the before jumping  which is mathematically represented at

          PE_T  = mg H

and  KE_B is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net  which is mathematically represented at

        KE_B = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

and  PE_B is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )

   So the above equation becomes

          mgH =  \frac{1}{2} m v^2

=>           v =  \sqrt{2 gH }

    substituting values

                v =  16.57 m/s

Applying the equation o motion

             v_f =  v  + 2 a s

Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest

      So

         0 = 16.57 + 2 * a * 1.8

            a =  - \frac{16.57^2 }{2 * 1.8}

            a =  - 76.27 m/s^2
