Question
How long will a stone take to fall to the ground from the top of a building 80 m high
Advertisements
Solution
Height, s = 80m
g = 10 m/s2
Using the second equation of motion,
S = ut + (1/2) gt2
Or, 80 = 0+ (1/2) (10) (t) 2
Or, (t) 2 = 16
Or, t = 4s

A free 238U nucleus kept in a train emits an alpha particle. When the train is stationary, a nucleus decays and a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes x at time t after the decay. If the decay takes place while the train is moving at a uniform velocity v, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time t after the decay, as measured by the passenger, is
