Application of Free Fall (Exam)

Application No. 1

Let’s say you hold a two ball in the air a 10-gram metal ball and a 5-gram metal ball and you hold it five
feet above the ground so they’re at the same height once you release it from rest both balls will be in
free fall. Which one will hit the ground first? Is it the 10-gram ball or is it the 5-gram ball? The answer is
both objects will reach the ground at the same time. The reason for that they’re place at the same
height and they’re under the influence of the same gravity, earth gravity. The acceleration due to gravity
is 9.8 meter per second squared.

Application No. 2

Let’s say if we use an actual demonstration of a brick versus a flat piece of paper, the brick is lot heavier
than the flat piece of paper. Let’s say it’s a 1-kilogram brick, with air resistance which one will hit the
ground first? The brick going to go straight down. the paper might go this way, might go that way and
then eventually fall to the ground because of air resistance.

Application of Projectile (Exam)

Application No. 1

You’ve just finished your exam, and in that moment of joy you run to the nearest cliff and throw your
Physics textbook into the air. The top of the cliff is 50 meter above the ground, and the textbook is
thrown with a velocity of 20 meter per second, at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal. If the
acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meter per second squared downward, then find the maximum height
above the ground that the textbook reaches and find the time the text book is in the air.

A bird flies’ due south for the winter at a velocity of 13.5 meter per second. The bird experiences a wind
which blows due east a 5.4 meter per second. What is the bird’s resultant velocity?

Let a be the long side or the adjacent, let b the short side and Let B the theta.

In this problem our long side is 13.5 meter per second and the short side is 5.4 meter per second. To find
the resultant velocity we must find the hypotenuse, we used the formula, a squared plus b squared
equals c squared. So we have 13.5 m/s squared plus 5.4 m/s squared is equal to 14.5 meter per second.
To find the theta we used the formula, Tan inverse b over a, or it is equal to tan inverse 5.4 over 13.5 or
that is equal to 21.8 degrees so our final answer will be 14.5 meter per squared, 21.8 degrees, East of
South.

Application No. 2

A plane is flying to Minnesota which a velocity of 450 Newton. The plane encounters a crosswind with a
velocity of 25 Newton. What is the resultant velocity of the plane?

In this problem our long side is 450 kilometers per hour and the short side is 25 kilometers per hour. To
find the resultant velocity we must find the hypotenuse, we used the formula, a squared plus b squared
equals c squared. So we have 450 kl/h squared plus 25 kl/h squared is equal to 450.7 kilometers per
hour. To find the theta we used the formula, Tan inverse b over a, or it is equal to tan inverse 25 over
450 or that is equal to 3.2 degrees so our final answer will be to 450.7 kilometers per hour, 3.2 degrees,
West of North.
