Answer:
b) The downward force of gravity
Explanation:
The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:
right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):
so the object will eventually be going down again.
Answer:
v = 7.67 m/s for L= 1m
Explanation:
Let's use the conservation of mechanical energy, at the highest point and the lowest point
Initial. Vertical ruler
Em₀ = mg h
Final. Just before touching the floor
= K = ½ I w²
Em₀ =
m g h = ½ I w²
The moment of inertia of a ruler that turns on one end is
I = 1/3 m L²
Let's replace
m g h = ½ (1/3 m L²) w²2
g h = 1/6 L² w²
They ask for the speed of the end so the height h is equal to the length of the ruler
g L = 1/6 L² w²
The linear and angular variables are related
v = w r
w = v / r
In this case the point of interest a in strangers r = L
g L = 1/6 L² v² / L²
v = √ 6 g L
Let's calculate
Assume that the length of the meter is L = 1 m
v = √ (6 9.8 1)
v = 7.67 m/s
