a small object is released from rest and falls 1.00 * 10^2 feet near the surface of the earth. neglect air resistance. how long will it take to fall through the 1.00 * 10^2 feet mentioned?
a) 4.5 s
b) 10 s
c) 2.49 s
d) 3.12 s
e) 6.25 s
ANS c) 2.49 s
Since 100 feet = 30.48 m
Applying equation s = ut + 1/2 at2
30.48 = 0 + 1/2 *(9.8 * t^2)
t^2 = 30.48 / 4.9 = 6.22
t = 2.49 s

An object, at the top of a very tall building, is released from rest and falls freely due to gravity. Neglect air resistance and calculate the distance covered by the object between times t1 = 4.12 s and t2 = 6.27 s after it is released.
An object is dropped from rest from a height 7 × 10^6 m above the surface of the earth. If there is no air resistance, what is its speed when it strikes the earth? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 and the radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10^6 m. Answer in units of km/s.
10. A small object of mass m, on the end of a light cord, is held horizontally at a distance r from a fixed support as shown. The object is then released. What is the tension in the cord when the object is at the lowest point of its swing? 11. A wooden brick slides on a horizontal frictionless floor with a constant velocity v. On the brick's path there is a 50 cm long rough area with a friction...
Question 21 5 pts A small space rock of mass m is released from rest a very long distance away ("infinity from a planet of mass M and radius R. The rock falls to the planet's surface. What is the network done on the rock by the force of gravity from the initial moment of release to just before it hits the surface of the planet? You can ignore air resistance and assume that the rock falls in along a...
A 3.0-kg cylinder falls vertically from rest in a very tall, evacuated tube near the surface of the earth. What is its speed after the cylinder has fallen 6.0 m7 11 m/s 13 m/s 26 m/ft 120 m/s 8.0 m/s
(10 points) Which of the following statements is correct for an object released from rest, freefalling in the Earth's gravity? (Neglect air resistance.) Circle all true statements. If the statement is incorrect rewrite the statement in the space below the incorrect statement to make it correct. a. during each second the object travels 4.9 m b. the average speed at time t = 4s is 39.2 m/s c. the instantaneous speed at time t = 38 is 29.4 m/s d....
2. An object of 5 kg is released from rest 1000 meters above the ground level and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the object with proportionality constant k = 50 kg/sec determine the formula for the velocity of the object 3. A rocket having an initial mass mo kg is launched vertically from the surface of the Earth. The rocket expels gas at...
