The velocity (in m/s) of a free-falling object as a function of the height from which it is dropped is

Physics

slava [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Falling objects form an interesting class of motion problems. For example, we can estimate the depth of a vertical mine shaft by dropping a rock into it and listening for the rock to hit the bottom. By applying the kinematics developed so far to falling objects, we can examine some interesting situations and learn much about gravity in the process.

The most remarkable and unexpected fact about falling objects is that, if air resistance and friction are negligible, then in a given location all objects fall toward the center of Earth with the same constant acceleration, independent of their mass. This experimentally determined fact is unexpected because we are so accustomed to the effects of air resistance and friction that we expect light objects to fall slower than heavy ones.

<h3>A hammer and a feather will fall with the same constant acceleration if air resistance is considered negligible. This is a general characteristic of gravity not unique to Earth, as astronaut David R. Scott demonstrated on the Moon in 1971, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.67 m/s^2.</h3>

In the real world, air resistance can cause a lighter object to fall slower than a heavier object of the same size. A tennis ball will reach the ground after a hard baseball is dropped at the same time. (It might be difficult to observe the difference if the height is not large.) Air resistance opposes the motion of an object through the air, while friction between objects, such as between clothes and a laundry chute or between a stone and a pool into which it is dropped, also opposes motion between them. For the ideal situations of these first few chapters, an object falling without air resistance or friction is defined to be in free-fall.

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).
