Answer:
They will meet at a distance of 7.57 m
Given:
Initial velocity of policeman in the x- direction,
The distance between the buildings,
The building is lower by a height, h = 2.5 m
Solution:
Now,
When the policeman jumps from a height of 2.5 m, then his initial velocity, u was 0.
Thus
From the second eqn of motion, we can write:
t = 0.707 s
Now,
When the policeman was chasing across:
The distance they will meet at:
9.57 - 2.0 = 7.57 m
<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />
According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
