  • Physics ninja looks at 3 different free fall problems. We calculate the time to hit the ground, the velocity just before hitting the ground. We apply the kinematic equations to look at free fall when you throw an object straight up or down.

    on the second problem when you are finding the speed before hitting the ground should the intial velocity not be 0m/s and the height be 8.84 meters. As the ball would speed up a lot more from a height of 8.84 meters rather than 7 meters.

    So, for the final answer, since upwards is positive, it's either 14.2 down or -14.2 right? I'm a bit confused because you canceled out the positive value but still took the positive value. Otherwise, great video though. Thanks for the help!
    Edit: Also in B3 shouldn't it just be the magnitude since it's asking for the speed?

    Hello! I have a tiny doubt. At 15:47, you mentioned that the change in displacement for y would be -7. Why shouldn't it be 8.84; i.e the calculated height? Because the ball is dropping from that maximum height - or would that be considered the distance rather than the displacement? Thanks!

      Distance is a scalar, it’s always positive, displace t is a vector, can be positive or negative, the sign depends on the direction.

    alot of free fall questions ask for the velocity of an object WHEN it hits the ground, which is different from just BEFORE hitting the ground. Im just confused on weather those are interchangable or not. does the velocity when the ball hits the ground equal 0?
    Also alot of free fall problems ask for the velocity when a person CATCHES the ball. Does that also mean the velocity is equal to 0?

    • @chocopies984
      @chocopies984 Před rokem

      When an object is thrown upward, it's velocity is decreasing until it reaches it's maximum height.
      On the contrary, when the object falls back down, it's velocity is increasing until it hits the solid ground. In knowing this, just trust the mathematics and the following basic equation:
      Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial Velocity ) /
      Time
      Remember that acceleration is equal to the change in velocity over time. Therefore as the object is thrown upward, the velocity is decreasing, so AV would be negative, thus making the acceleration negative.
      In free fall, acceleration is also negative because of its downward direction.
      You can also see it by drawing a graph.

      so he added +7 to both sides

      +7,+7
      7 cancels out so it equals to zero

      and u times 2 by both sides to get the common denomenator

    For (A), I realized that if a 80kg drunk dude walked off a 7m ledge, he will still take 1.2s to hit the ground at 11.7m/s(43km/hr or 26.7mph), even though his weight(or should i say mass) is many times heavier than the ball. From the equation, the mass of the object is irrelevant.
    Then I imagine the same drunk dude walking off the top of Empire State Building at 381m to his death. He will take 8.8s to hit the ground at 86.4m/s(311km/hr or 193.3mph). I want to know the force just before impact so I tried to apply F=ma= 80(9.8)=784N but the value seems to be too small for a falling human being becoming pizza on the ground. In fact 784N seems to be just the weight of the dude standing on the ground due to Earth's gravity. Where did I calculate wrongly?

    I guess dropping an object from a hot air balloon wouldn't have a initial velocity as zero right? Dropping from a stationary object, initial velocity will be zero

      The clarification I seek,is dropping an object from a moving object would not have a zero as it's initial velocity

      There is always a negative force around if we throw something up, that force is called gravity.

    Hello, I have a physics problem that I am willing to bet you are unable to solve. No calculations needed, just an understanding of the basic concepts of physics. What the puzzle is asking can be understood in just a moment.
    If you reply, let me know if you want to attemp this puzzle. If you have a question about anything at all, something that interests you perhaps, ask. I am busy though. I am trying to save the world and there seems to be a lot of work that needs to be done. Puzzle is first concern here, but if I have time, would not mind chatting.

    Isn't that equation wrong? For vf^2 it's supposed to be plus 2g delta not minus
