The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)
We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '. D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Multiply each side by 2 : 2 D = g t²
Divide each side by ' g ' : 2 D/g = t²
Square root each side: t = √ (2D/g)
Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:
-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .--
They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.
Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.
It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
Answer:
The new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the ball, m = 7 kg
initial speed of the ball, u = 5 m/s
applied force, F = 300 N
time of force action on the ball, t = 4 s
Apply Newton's second law of motion;
where;
v is new speed of the ball
Therefore, the new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s
His velocity is 3 m/s in the direction in which he is running in. which.
