Ball bearings can be made by leting shperical drops of molten metal fall inside a tall tower - called a shot tower- and solidify as they fall.
If a bearing needs 4.0s to solidify enough for impact, how high must the tower be?
What is the bearing's impact velocity?
I've never taken a physics course before. I have no idea how to figure out the height of the shot tower, I think I'm supposed to know from the 4 seconds that the tower is a certain height, but I'm totally clueless. If someone could even just tell me how to figure that out I'd really appreciate it.
I saw an old post with a near identical question from 2 years ago, but looking at the answer given there didn't help me figure out what to do here.
Help??
