Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

OK, yet another strange awakening in a room with no windows. This time you drop a ball from a height of 1.79 m and it hits the floor 0.423 s after you drop it.

I am currently learning about kinematics in my physics class. For one of the questions, it asks me to solve a question that asks me to find the magnitude of acceleration. I have found answers ranging between 3 and 4, but everytime I put my answer into Webassign it is wrong. I was wondering how I would find the magnitude of acceleration given the time and distance. Thank you
