What is the mass of an object that falls freely under the influence of gravity from an elevation of 100 m above the earth's surface? The downward velocity is 100 m/s and strikes the earth at 109.4m/s. Take g = 9.81 m/s2.
Ans. m=40kg
The acceleration of high-speed aircraft is sometimes expressed in g’s (in multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity). Determine the upward force, in N, that a 90-kg man would experience in an aircraft whose acceleration is 6 g’s.
A car is accelerated from rest to 85 km/h in 10 s. Would the energy transferred to the car be different if it were accelerated to the same speed in 5 s?
