Question
( THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE BASED ON THE INFORMATION GIVEN BELOW.
The lift of an observatory tower is accelerating upwards with a = 1m/s, together with a kid inside it. The moment the lift reaches a speed r = 4m/s, the kid lets go of a ball that she has been
holding in her hand, at a height L- 2.9 m above the lift floor.
As you answer the questions, ignore air resistance and treat the ball as a point-mass.
(Take g = 9.8 m/s)
A) How long, in seconds does it take the ball t hit the lift floor?
Answer:
B) What is the total distance travelled by the ball, in meters, from the moment it is released until it hits the floor?
