A student falls off a cliff into the lake 54.0 m below. What is the final velocity of the student?
1 answer:
Answer:
= -32.53 m / s
this velocity is directed downwards
Explanation:
This is a free fall exercise, let's use the expression
= v_{oy}^{2} + 2 g (y -yo)
where we are assuming that there is friction with the air, as the body falls its initial velocity is zero
v_{oy} = √ 2g (y - y₀)
let's calculate
v_{y} = √ (2 9.8 (0-54.0))
= -32.53 m / s
this velocity is directed downwards

Answer:
u= 20.09 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
m = 0.02 kg
M= 2 kg
h= 0.2 m
Lets take initial speed of bullet = u m/s
The final speed of the system will be zero.
From energy conservation
1/2 m u²+ 0 = 0+ (m+M) g h
m u²=2 (m+M) g h
By putting the values
0.02 x u² = 2 (0.02+2) x 10 x 0.2 ( take g=10 m/s²)
u= 20.09 m/s
