"Free Fall" MEANS that the only force acting on the object is
the force of gravity.  It may be falling, but if there's any other
force acting on it besides gravity, like maybe air resistance,
then it's NOT in "free fall".

A life preserver is thrown from an helicopter straight down to a person in distress. The initial velocity of the life preserver
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

v^2-u^2=2gs

24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s

s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}

s=29.627 m

A truck is traveling at 2.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 3.00 s. How far does the car travel during those 3.0
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.

Explanation:

The simple rule of three is a tool that is used to quickly solve problems, where three pieces of information must be known, and one of them operates as an unknown to be known.

Two magnitudes are directly proportional if one magnitude increases the other also does it, and if the magnitude decreases the other in the same way.

Being a, b and c known data and x the unknown, the value that we want to know, the rule of three when the magnitudes are directly proportional is applied as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, knowing that a truck travels at 2 m/s, the rule of three applies as follows: if in 1 second the truck travels 2 m, in 3 seconds how much distance does it travel?

distance=\frac{3 s*2 m}{1 s}

distance= 6 m

<u><em> During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.</em></u>
