From 2 King 6:1-6, one of the disciples of Elisha was cutting a tree and the ax head fell into the water. While we do not know how high the ax head was when it fell into the water, we will work through a physics example of the ax head's vertical motion as if it were dropped into the water. ( Due date 09/07)
Write your name and date. The due date of this assignment is the height the ax head falls from in meters into the water. For example, if the due date is July 15, then the ax head fell 15 meters to the water.
Write Newton’s 2nd Law in Equation Form.
Write the quantity and units of average gravitational acceleration on the surface of Earth.
Given the ax head mentioned in the opening portion with the height being equal in numerical value of the due day of this assignment. How long does it take for the ax to fall to the river surface?
Compute the final speed of the ax when it hits the water.

Answer:

time of fall is 1.75 s and the velocity with which it strikes the water is 17.15 m/s.

Explanation:

Height, h =  15 m

Newton's second law

Force = mass x acceleration

The unit of gravitational force is Newton and the value is m x g.

where, m is the mas and g is the acceleration due to gravity.  

Let the time of fall is t.

Use second equation of motion

[tex]s= u t +0.5 at^2\\\\15 = 0 +0.5\times 9.8\times t^{2}\\\\t = 1.75 s[/tex]

Let the final speed is v.

Use third equation of motion

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s\\\\v^2 = 0 + 2 \times 9.8\times 15\\\\v =17.15 m/s[/tex]
