A ballifs gently dropped from a height of Rom. if its
velocity increases oniformly at the rate of 10m/s2, with
whor velocity wall pt strike the ground? After what time
will it strike the ground?​

Respuesta :

Note: Since I could not understand the height it was dropped from I will be using R. You can substitute whatever height in place of R.

Let the up be increasing y and down be decreasing y. We know the acceleration in the y direction which is,

[tex]\ddot{y}=-10\frac{m}{s^{2}}=-g[/tex]

I'm going to call it -g for simplicity.

Now integrating to get velocity,

[tex]\dot{y}=-gt[/tex]

Notice since the ball was dropped from rest, so the constant of integration is 0.

Integrating once more to get position,

[tex]\[y=R-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\][/tex]

<Since R is the initial height, it is the constant of integration here>

To answer the question for what time will it hit the ground, setting y=0 and solving for t we get:

[tex]\[t=\sqrt{2gR}\][/tex]

Now to get the velocity at which it hit the ground, we plug in this value of t into our velocity equation:

[tex]\dot{y}(t=\sqrt{2gR}\)=-g\sqrt{2gR}[/tex]

Hope this helps!
