Answer:
5.7141 m
Explanation:
Here the potential and kinetic energy will balance each other
This is the initial velocity of the system and the final velocity is 0
t = Time taken = 0.04 seconds
F = Force = 18000 N
a = Acceleration
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Equation of motion
From Newton's second law
Squarring both sides
The height from which the student fell is 5.7141 m
Answer:
4.08 s
Explanation:
Let the passenger took "t" time to catch the train
so in this case the total distance moved by the train + 5 m = total distance moved by the passenger
so we will have
distance moved by train is given as
also the distance moved by passenger
so we will have
t = 4.08 s
According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
