Question


A 6.1 kg flowerpot drops off the top of a tall wall.

1)

2)

3)

4)

What is the magnitude of the force acting on the pot while it is in the air 1.6 s after it begins to fall? After the pot has fallen 35 m, what is the magnitude of its velocity? After the pot has fallen h= 35 m, it enters a pool of viscous liquid, which brings it to rest over a distance of 1.5 m. Assuming constant deceleration over this distance, what is the magnitude of this deceleration? What is the force exerted on the liquid by the pot?

Explanation / Answer

A)magnitude of force=weight of the pot=59.78 N


b)sqrt(2*9.8*35)=26.2 m/s


c)initial velocity=26.2 m/s


final velocity=0


distance=1.5 m


so final velocity^2=initial velocity^2+2*deceleration*distance


deceleration=228.66 m/s^2


4)force=mass*deceleration=1394.8 N
