The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)
We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Multiply each side by 2 : 2 D = g t²
Divide each side by ' g ' : 2 D/g = t²
Square root each side: t = √ (2D/g)
Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:
-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .
-- They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside
the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.
Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.
It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.
Answer:
0
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law, the net force is equal to the mass times the acceleration. Since the car is not accelerating, the net force is 0.
Answer:
you must throw 3 snowballs
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment
Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator
p₀ = n m v₀
Where n is the snowball number
Final. When the refrigerator moves
pf = (n m + M) v
The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal
n m v₀ = (n m + M) v
n m (v₀ - v) = M v
n = M/m v/(vo-v)
Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton
F = m a
a = F / m
The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm
v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x
v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1
v₁ = 14.14 m / s
This is the initial speed for the crash
v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s
Let's calculate
n = M/m v/ (v₀-v)
n = 10/1 3 / (14.14 -3)
n = 2.7 balls
you must throw 3 snowballs
