when an object is in free fall we disregard the effect that air resistance would have in slowing down the object. so if a 10 kg object is in free fall and allowed to fall for 20 s, what will be the final velocity at the end of this time? remember: v i



Answer :

The final velocity at the end of this time will be 200 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

When any object is in free fall, then

The value of acceleration = g  [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex] = 10 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]

The initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity (v) = v m/s

The mass of the object (m) = 10 kg

Time taken to reach the ground = 20 s

We will calculate the height (s) from which the object falls,

We employ the 2nd equation of motion since the object is under constant acceleration,

We have,

[tex]s = ut +\frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

Putting the values in the equation, we get

[tex]s = 0 +\frac{1}{2} *10 *20^{2} \\\\s = 2000[/tex]

Thus, the height is 2000 m

Now, we apply the third equation of motion,

[tex]v^{2} -u^{2} = 2as[/tex]

Putting all the values, we get,

[tex]v^{2} -0^{2} = 2*10*2000\\\\v^{2} = 40000\\\\v = 200[/tex]

Hence, the final velocity at the end of this time will be 200 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]
