A rock is dropped from the top of a tall tower. Half a second later another rock, twice as massive as the first, is dropped. Ignoring air resistance, they strike the ground with the same kinetic energy they strike the ground more than half a second apart. the distance between the rocks increases while both are falling. the acceleration is greater for the more massive rock.

4. Falling Drop A raindrop of mass \(m_{0}\), starting from rest, falls under the influence of gravity. Assume that as the raindrop travels through the clouds, it gains mass at a rate proportional to the momentum of the raindrop, \(\frac{d m_{r}}{d t}=k m_{r} v_{r}\), where \(m_{r}\) is the instantaneous mass of the raindrop, \(v_{r}\) is the instantaneous velocity of the raindrop, and \(k\) is a constant with unit \(\left[m^{-1}\right] .\) You may neglect air resistance.(a) Derive a differential equation for the...

In this lab, an apple is released from rest and falls freely until it lands in a bowl. Watch the video here. We will be measuring y (the vertical position coordinate) as a function of time t. Notation: y0 is the value of y at t = 0; vy is the y-component of the velocity; vy0 is the value of vy at t = 0; ay is the y-component of the acceleration. The +y-direction is up. Assuming air resistance is...

An apple drops from the tree and falls freely. The apple is originally at rest a height H0 above the ground. The ground is covered with a thick lawn, which is made of blades of grass of height h. When the apple enters the grass, it slows down at a constant rate so that its speed is 0 when it reaches ground level. A. Find the speed of the apple just before it enters the grass. B. Find the acceleration...

a. Consider a (spherical) pebble of radius 1 cm falling under the influence of gravity. Assume it experiences a quadratic drag force (i.e., proportional to the velocity squared). Assume the constant of proportionality for the drag force is the product of a constant κQ and a geometric factor is the square of the radius. Assume the density of stone is 2500 kg/m3 and that κQ = 0.87 kg/m3 . Estimate the terminal velocity of the pebble (vT ). b. Consider...
