During the first second of its flight, a bullet fired horizontally drops a vertical distance of 4.9 m from its otherwise straight-line path in a gravitational field of 1 g. By What distance would a beam of light drop from its otherwise straight-line path if it traveled in a uniform field of 1 g for 1 s? For 2 s?
The distance of dropping of beam of light drop from its straight line path at the given time.
Answer to Problem 38A
The distance at which the beam of light drop from its straight line path at
The distance at which the beam of light drop from its straight line path at
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The vertical distance is
Time is 1 second and 2 second.
Formula used:
The expression for the distance is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the acceleration due to gravity as
The distance at which the beam of light drops from its straight line path at
The distance at which the beam of light drops from its straight line path at
Conclusion:
Thus, the distance at which the beam of light drop from its straight line path at
