To achieve a speed of 2 m/s, the bottle must be dropped at m. To achieve a speed of 3 m/s, the bottle must be dropped at m. To a
klio [65]

Answer:

\begin{array}{l|l}\text{Speed}\; \mathrm{(m\cdot s^{-1})} & \text{Minimum Height\;(m)}\\\cline{1-2}\\[-1em] 2 & 0.204\\3&0.459\\4 & 0.815\\5 & 1.27 \\6 & 1.83\end{array}.

Assumptions:

  • The object is dropped in a free fall.
  • There's no air resistance.
  • The downward acceleration due to gravity is \rm 9.81\;m\cdot s^{-2}

Explanation:

Consider the "SUVAT" equation

\displaystyle \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2a} = x,

where

  • v is the final velocity,
  • u is the initial velocity,
  • a is the acceleration of the object, and
  • x is the change in the object's position.

For example, if the bottle needs to achieve a speed of v = \rm 2\; m\cdot s^{-1} by the time it reaches the ground,

  • u = 0 since the statement that the bottle is "dropped" implies a free fall.
  • a = g = \rm 9.81\;m\cdot s^{-2}.

Apply the previous equation to find the minimum height, x:

\displaystyle x = \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2a} = \rm \frac{\left(2\; m\cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2}}{2\times 9.81\; m\cdot s^{-2}} \approx 0.204\; m.

Replace the v value and apply the formula to find the minimum height required to reach different final speeds.

• A cable is suspended over a pulley. A 5.0 kg mass is attached to
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Tension= \frac{20g}{3}  (g=acceleration of gravity)

Explanation:

Given that,

A 5Kg and 10Kg are attached by a cable suspended over a pulley.

As 10Kg > 5Kg , the 10 kg mass accelerates down and the 5kg mass accelerates up, let it be a. Let the tension in the cable be T.

So, the equations of motion are

10g-T = 10a

T-5g=5a

Now adding them we get,

5g=15a

a=\frac{g}{3}

Substituting them back in the equation we get,

10g-10(\frac{g}{3} ) = T

T= \frac{20g}{3}
