A for instance... I really enjoy driving video games. The pinacle of realistic driving simulators has always been Gran Turismo. I was baffled when I first started playing Gran Turismo 5 because there were no brake upgrades available for any of the cars. So I wondered why is that? Well I have a...
The windshield of a car has a width of 1067mm and a height of 889mm. The windshield also has a crack with a length of 305mm and a height of 1mm. What is the probability of a rock, with a random trajectory and a measurement of 1mmx1mm, hitting the windshield strikes directly in the center of the...
Thank you so much for helping me work that out. It's amazing that such a common assertion
("heavy and light objects fall at the same rate") is fundamentally incorrect. How did that happen?
So technically speaking a heavier object...will...fall faster than a lighter one. For example if I dropped two bowling balls (same height/same time) that were the same size, one with a mass of 10lbs and one with a mass of 20lbs...the 20lbs bowling ball would, mathematically/physically although...
Thank you for the welcome and response
ma = mg. I understand that equation is essentially telling me that in a vacuum, regardless of mass, two bodies will fall/accelerate at the same rate (on Earth 9.8m/s/s). I think I start to become a little confused once those bodies are falling through a...
Is it correct to assume that two objects, with different masses, dropped from the same height at the same time will fall at the same rate until one of the objects reaches its terminal
velocity? What are the applicable equation(s) used to calculate this?
