Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before.
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.
This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:
Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).
D = 1/2 A T²
For your student who dropped an object out of the window,
Distance = 19.6 m
Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²
D = 1/2 G T²
19.6 = 4.9 T²
Divide each side by 4.9 : 4 = T²
Square root each side: 2 = T
When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes 2 seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.
Answer:
h = 3.5 m
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the final speed of the ball when it collides with a seesaw. Using the third equation of motion:
where,
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = height = 3.5 m
vf = final speed = ?
vi = initial speed = 0 m/s
Therefore,
Now, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum:
where,
m₁ = mass of colliding ball = 3.6 kg
m₂ = mass of ball on the other end = 3.6 kg
v₁ = vf = final velocity of ball while collision = 8.3 m/s
v₂ = vi = initial velocity of other end ball = ?
Therefore,
Now, we again use the third equation of motion for the upward motion of the ball:
where,
g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative for upward motion)
h = height = ?
vf = final speed = 0 m/s
vi = initial speed = 8.3 m/s
Therefore,
<u>h = 3.5 m</u>
Answer:
52 rad
Explanation:
Using
Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1
Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.
Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.
Therefore,
Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2
make α the subject of the equation
α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3
Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s
Substitute into equation 3
α = 2(13)/2.5²
α = 26/2.5
α = 4.16 rad/s².
using equation 2,
Ф = 1/2αt²
Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²
Substitute into equation 2
Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)
Ф = 52 rad.
Car is moving on the glassy slope with constant speed
Now we know that
so acceleration is rate of change in velocity
as we know that velocity is constant here so acceleration is zero
so here
now as we know by Newton's II law
since a = 0
so net force will be ZERO on it during this motion
You can test if it’s true by holding a pencil in mid air over a table and the table is supposed to be the unbalanced forced that stopped the pencil from moving at the constant velocity it was going by.
