Dynamics

A stone after falling 4 second from rest breaks a glass

pane and in breaking it losses 25% of its velocity. How
far will it fall in next second
Velocity acquired in 4 sec after falling from rest:
v = u +gt
v= gt { Since u = 0, stone falls from rest}
v= 39.24m/sec
Since the stone losses 25% of its velocity after breaking the pan .
Thus velocity of stone after breaking the pan , (v- v/4)=3v/4
Distance the stone travels in next second:
s = ut +1/2 gt2 [ u= v-v/4, t= 1sec]
s = 34.335m
A particle falls from rest and in the last second of its
motion it travels 70m. Find the height with which it
fells and the time of its fall
Let t be the total time of fall
In t sec it covers a distance of s= ½ gt2 [since u =0]
In t-1 sec
it covers a distance of s = ½ g (t-1)2 [since u =0]
Thus
1/2 gt2- ½ g (t-1)2 = 70
t =7.64sec

height =
½ gt2 = 286.1m
