consider the motion along the horizontal direction :
v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s
X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m
a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²
t = time taken to land = ?
using the kinematics equation
X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²
t = 2/3
consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction
v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s
Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h
a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²
t = time taken to land = 2/3
using the kinematics equation
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²
h = 2.2 m
C 2.2 m
A) Acceleration= (282m/s-0m/s)/5.0s= 56.4m/s^2
b) Deceleration=(0m/s-282m/s)/1.40s=201.4m/s^2 (here we reject negative because deceleration already take into account negative)
c) for the first one the multiple will be 5.76g
for the second one it will be 20.6g
Answer:
the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.
Explanation:
The state of motion of a body depends upon the frame of reference. It is the set of co-ordinates according to which the motion is analyzed. If a child is riding in a wagon, then he will be considered in motion to a person standing outside the wagon. Hence, if we take a frame of reference outside the wagon then the child must be in motion with respect to the observer. On the other hand if the observer is inside the wagon, then the child must be in rest with respect to the observer. Hence, if we take the wagon to be the frame of reference, then the child will be at rest with respect to the observer.
<u>Therefore, the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.</u>
