During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the top of the science building. determine distance the ball has traveled after falling for 1.0 second, ignoring air resistance and given the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/sec2. a) 4.9 m b) 11 m c) 20 m d) 32 m

Given that,

mass of ball , m =11 lbs

Time , t = 1.0 seconds

Acceleration , a = 9.8 m/s²

Distance , s = ?

Since, we know that,

S = Vi *t + 1/2 at²

Since initial velocity is zero in this case (ball was at state of rest before falling to the ground)

S = 1/2 *9.8 * (1)²

S = 4.9 m

The distance covered by ball after one second will be 4.9 m.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
