AI Thread Summary
When an object is dropped from different heights, it will have the same speed at the same time if we assume no friction. The acceleration due to gravity is constant at -9.81 m/s² for both objects. Since both start from rest, their initial velocity is 0 m/s. Therefore, at any given time, they will reach the same velocity despite being dropped from different heights. This conclusion holds true only in the absence of friction.

When an object is being dropped at different height assuming no friction will it have the same
speed at the same time?

Lets say an object was dropped at 10m and 5m

at 3seconds would the speed be the same?

a=v/t
v=a*t

using the formula i would assume they would have the same velocity at the same time even in different heights.
is this correct?

i think you are correct because there is no friction so yes. if there was friction no.
 
Yes, because the initial velocity of both would be 0 m/s and gravity would at equally on them both at -9.81 m/s^2 so at the same time they would have the same speed.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
