Question

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly with 2m/s2. At t = 10 s a stone is dropped out of the window of the car which is 1 m in height from the ground. What will be the velocity and acceleration of the stone at t = 10 s? Neglect air resistance. (g = 10 m/s2)

Solution

Velocity after 10 s:

Horizontal component: vx=u+at=0+2×10=20m/s (Horizontal)

Vertical component: vy=0 (since falling freely)

Net velocity: v=v2x+v2y=202+02=20m/s

Acceleration:

Horizontal direction: ax=2m/s2

Vertical direction: ay=10m/s2

Net acceleration: a=a2x+a2y=22+102=10.2m/s2.
