Answer:
b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?
Let´s take a look at the height function:
h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²
Where
h0 = initial height
v0 = initial velocity
t = time
g = acceleration due to gravity
Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.
Another way to see it (without calculus):
When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.
Answer:
Distance: 1600 m Displacement: 0
Explanation:
The distance is because He ran 400 meters 4 times getting 1600 m
4*400=1600
The displacement is 0 because displacement is the total distnce away from the starting point and since he ran laps around the track in the end he ended up in the same spot as last time.
Answer:
final velocity will be44.72m/s
Explanation:
HEIGHT=h=100m
vi=0m/s
vf=?
g=10m/s²
by using third equation of motion for bodies under gravity
2gh=(vf)²-(vi)²
evaluating the formula
2(10m/s²)(100m)=vf²-(0m/s)²
2000m²/s²=vf²
√2000m²/s²=√vf²
44.72m/s=vf
Let s = rate of rotation
<span>Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km </span>
<span>Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. </span>
<span>People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.</span>
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s per second.
