Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal for…

Chapter P.1, Problem 9P

Animal Athletes

Different animals have very different capacities for running. A horse can maintain a top speed of 20 m/s for a long distance but has a maximum acceleration of only 6.0 m/s², half what a good human sprinter can achieve with a block to push against. Greyhounds, dogs especially bred for feats of running, have a top speed of 17 m /s, but their acceleration is much greater than that of the horse. Greyhounds are particularly adept at turning corners at a run.

You kick a ball vertically from the ground and give it an initial velocity of = 30 m/s. Vi Find the height the ball reaches at the very top. You will need to do this using two different methods. Method 1: A. Use the velocity equation to find the time it takes to reach the top. B. Use the position equation to find the height (Y) that the ball reaches Method 2:C. Use conservation of energy to find the height that the ball reaches. D. Which method was easier?
