A truck starts from rest and accelerate uniformly with `2 ms^(-2)`. At t = 10 s a stone is dropped by a person standing on the top of the truck (6 m high from ground). What are the (a) velocity and (b) acceleration of the stone at t = 11 s ? Neglect air resistance. |
Answer» (a) (b) The moment the stone is dropped from the car, horizontal force on the stone is zero. The only acceleration of the stone is that due to gravity. This gives a vertically downward acceleration of `10 ms^(-2)` . This is also the net acceleration of the stone. |
