Use this equation to answer the following questions. v^1 = v^0 + at
Initial velocity is 0
V^0 = Initial velocity (velocity at time 0) (m/s)
V^1 = Velocity after (t) has elapsed (m/s)
a = Acceleration (Earth's Gravity 9.8m/s^2)
t = time (s)
7. What is the velocity of your object (either a phone or laptop) after 1.5 seconds have passed?
8. Use the above value to calculate the momentum of your object. P = MV(Momentum = Mass x Velocity)
9. Calculate the force your object will hit the ground F=MA(Force = Mass x Acceleration)
To answer these questions, we need to plug in the given values into the equation v^1 = v^0 + at and solve for v^1.
Given:
V^0 = 0 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s^2
t = 1.5 s
7. To find the velocity after 1.5 seconds have passed, we substitute the values into the equation:
v^1 = v^0 + at
v^1 = 0 + (9.8)(1.5)
v^1 = 0 + 14.7 = 14.7 m/s
8. To calculate the momentum of the object, we need to know the mass of the object (M).
Let's assume the mass of the object is 1 kg (M = 1 kg).
Using the formula P = MV, we can find the momentum:
P = 1 kg * 14.7 m/s = 14.7 kg*m/s
9. To calculate the force with which the object will hit the ground, we again need to know the mass of the object.
Let's assume the mass of the object is 2 kg (M = 2 kg).
Using the formula F = MA, we plug in the values:
F = 2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 19.6 N
So, after 1.5 seconds have passed, the velocity of the object is 14.7 m/s, the momentum is 14.7 kg*m/s, and the force with which it will hit the ground is 19.6 N (assuming a mass of 2 kg).
