Question
Visitors to the top of the Empire State Building, which is 1,250 feet high, are cautioned not to throw objects off the roof. How much damage could an object of mass 1 oz. dropped from the roof do?
a) Find expressions for the velocity and the height of the object. Recall that the acceleration of gravity is -32 ft/s2 and
assume that the initial velocity of the object is zero.
b) How long will it take for the object to hit the ground?
c) What is the velocity of the object when it hits the ground?
d) Find the impact of the object by computing the product mass x velocity
e) Compare that with the impact of a 10 oz. hammer being swung at a speed of 10ft/ sec
