Can A Body Have Zero Velocity And Still Be Accelerating?
Find the law of motion of a body acted upon by a constant force F if at time the body is at rest at the origin x=0
According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance.
In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t.
Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are:
g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2)
g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2)
g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2).
Theory
Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…
