An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downwards 1.0 s later. They both reach the water 20 m below at the

same instant. What was the initial speed of the second object

Answer:

vi = 14.610

Explanation:

initial velocity of the first object (vi) = 0 m/s, because it was dropped

distance (y) = -20 m

initial position (y0) = 0 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s^2

y = 1/2 gt^2 + vi*t + y0

-20 = 1/2(-9.8)t^2 + 0 + 0

-20 = -4.9t^2

4.081 = t^2

+√4.081 = t

t = 2.020

time of second object = 2.020 - 1 = 1.020

Now we can plug in the new time to solve for vi of the second object.

y = 1/2 gt^2 + vi*t + y0

-20 = 1/2(-9.8)1.020^2 + vi*1.020 + 0

-20 = -5.098 + 1.020vi

14.902 = 1.020vi

vi = 14.610 m/s

A car drives past a pole at 40km/hr. Describe the motion from the point of view of a) the car, and b) the pole. Thanks in advanc
ki77a [65]
I was going to beg off until tomorrow, but this one is nothing like those others.
Why, at only 40km/hr, we can ignore any relativistic correction, and just go with Newton.

To put a finer point on it, let's give the car a direction.  Say it's driving North.

a).  From the point of view of the car, its driver, and passengers if any,
the pole moves past them, heading south, at 40 km/hour .

b).  From the point of view of the pole, and any bugs or birds that may be
sitting on it at the moment, the car and its contents whiz past them, heading
north, at 40 km/hour.

c).  A train, steaming North at 80 km/hour on a track that exactly parallels
the road, overtakes and passes the car at just about the same time as
the drama in (a) and (b) above is unfolding.

The rail motorman, fireman, and conductor all agree on what they have
seen. From their point of view, they see the car moving south at 40 km/hr,
and the pole moving south at 80 km/hr.

Now follow me here . . .

The car and the pole are both seen to be moving south.  BUT ... Since the
pole is moving south faster than the car is, it easily overtakes the car, and
passes it . . . going south.

That's what everybody on the train sees.

==============================================

Finally ... since you posed this question as having something to do with your
fixation on Relativity, there's one more question that needs to be considered
before we can put this whole thing away:

You glibly stated in the question that the car is driving along at 40 km/hour ...
AS IF we didn't need to know with respect to what, or in whose reference frame.
Now I ask you ... was that sloppy or what ? ! ? 

Of course, I came along later and did the same thing with the train, but I am
not here to make fun of myself !  Only of others.

The point is . . . the whole purpose of this question, obviously, is to get the student accustomed to the concept that speed has no meaning in and of itself, only relative to something else.  And if the given speed of the car ...40 km/hour ... was measured relative to anything else but the ground on which it drove, as we assumed it was, then all of the answers in (a) and (b) could have been different.

And now I believe that I have adequately milked this one for 50 points worth.

Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract.
Zina [86]

The statement ‘Big bang theorists believe that the universe is expanding and will eventually contract’ is false. The answer is letter B. The big bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began with that exploded and expanded. It also states that the universe began in a single form of high condensed reactive matter and exploded forming the galaxies, planets, stars and other celestial bodies.

When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.
EleoNora [17]

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.

Laskar, J.: 1990, The chaotic motion of the solar system. A numerical estimate of the size of the chaotic zones, Icarus, 88, 266
balandron [24]

The chaotic nature of the Solar System excluding Pluto was established by the numerical computation of the maximum Lyapunov exponent of its secular system over 200 myr.

<h3>What is chaotic motion of the solar system ?</h3>

There has been an increase in awareness of chaotic dynamics in the solar system over the past 20 years. The orbits of tiny objects in the solar system, such as asteroids, comets, and interplanetary dust, are now known to be chaotic and to experience significant variations across geological time periods.

  • a completely unpredictable orbit, or one where significant changes in the orbit can result from even small changes in the position and/or velocity of the orbiting entity.
