Explanation :

The attached graph is a distance-time graph for an object. The x-axis represents time while the y-axis represents the distance covered.

The motion can be uniform or non-uniform. When an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time. The motion is uniform but when it does not cover equal distances in equal interval of time, the motion is non-uniform.

So, the motion in given graph B has different speed at every interval of time.

Hence, the motion of graph B is non-uniform.

Answer : The motion of the object is, non-uniform

Explanation :

Uniform motion : It is defined as the movement of an object along a straight line with constant speed. It travels equal distances in equal time interval.

The average speed of an object is similar to the actual speed of an object. The distance-time graph shows a straight line.

Non-uniform motion : It is defined as the movement of an object along a straight line with variable speed. It travels unequal distances in equal time interval.

The average speed of an object is different to the actual speed of an object. The distance-time graph shows a curved line.

The given graph B is a non-uniform motion graph.

Hence, the motion of the object is, non-uniform

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately $7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant $g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x$ ,

where

$u$ is the initial velocity of the object,
$v$ is the final velocity of the object.
$a$ is its acceleration, and
$x$ is its displacement.

In this case, $x$ is the same as the change in the ball's height: $x = 2.5\; \rm m$ . By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, $u = 0$ . Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, $a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .
