Study Notes
Dynamics of Rigid Bodies
- A ship slides down a ramp with constant acceleration.
- The ship takes 4 seconds to slide the first meter.
- The length of the ramp is 900 meters.
- It takes 2 minutes for the ship to slide the entire length of the ramp.
Free Falling Body
- Freefall is a common phenomenon where an object falls under gravity.
- The object's speed increases as it falls.
- Many factors, such as air resistance, can affect the speed of the object.
Example of Freefall
- A ball is thrown straight up at a speed of 10m/s.
- The ball is released 2 meters above the ground.
- The maximum height reached by the ball is 7.1 meters.
- The ball hits the ground 2.22 seconds after being released.
- The ball's velocity just before hitting the ground is 11.8m/s.
Another Example
- A car traveling at 50mph sees a wall.
- The driver takes 3 seconds to react (perception time).
- The car then brakes at a rate of 6m/sec².
- The distance from the stopping point to the wall is 12m.
- The car was 120.74 meters away from the wall when the driver first perceived it.
