    Kinematics in 1D: Acceleration Due To Gravity - in The Absence of Air Friction All Objects Accelerate at The Same Rate.

    Uploaded by

    JeevikaGoyal
    This document discusses kinematics in one dimension under the influence of gravity. It explains that near Earth's surface, all objects accelerate at -9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity. It then provides 3 examples of calculating kinematic properties like displacement, time, velocity, and acceleration for objects moving under gravity, dropping from heights or thrown vertically into the air.

    Kinematics in 1D: Acceleration

    Due to Gravity
    -

    In the absence of air friction all


    objects accelerate at the
    same rate.
    Near Earths surface the
    acceleration is -9.8 m/s2.

    Example1: A student drops their


    homework down a wishing well. After
    2.4s it hits the water at the bottom.
    How deep is the well? [ans: -28m]

    Example2: A football is kicked straight up in the air at 15m/s.


    a) How high does it go? [Ans: 11m]

    b) What is its total hangtime? [Ans. 3.1s]

    Example 3: A student stands on the edge of a 45.0m high cliff. They throw their
    physics homework straight up in the air at 12.0 m/s.
    a. How long does it take to come back down to the same height as the student?
    [Ans. 2.45s]

    b. If it falls all the way to the bottom of the cliff, how fast is it travelling when it
    hits the ground?
    [-32.0m/s]
