Answer:
d = 4.9 m
Explanation:
It is mentioned that a stone is dropped from a certain height. It is required to find the distance covered by it in one second.
The initial speed of the stone is equal to 0 as it was at rest. Let d is the distance covered by the stone.
Using second equation of motion :
Put u = 0 and a = g
So, the distance covered by it in one second is 4.9 m.
Answer:
5.4 ms⁻¹
Explanation:
Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.
= length of the meter stick = 1 m
= mass of the meter stick
= angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor
= speed of the other end of the stick
we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as
= height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor =
= Moment of inertia of the stick about one end
For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as
Using conservation of energy
Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy
