When the body released from the hands falls, it occurs. Free falling bodies

Such an experience gives grounds to consider the movement of bodies along a curved trajectory, which received speed at an angle to the horizon, as two independent movements - vertically and horizontally. Moreover, these movements proceed independently of each other and do not affect each other.

This statement, called principle of independence of movements, extends to the motion of bodies thrown at an angle to the horizon.

Since the complex curvilinear motion of a falling body can be represented as a sum of two independent simple movements vertically and horizontally, for further reasoning we will focus on analyzing the movement of the body only in the vertical direction. In this case, for simplicity, we will assume for now that the initial velocity of the body is zero.

Even the simplest observations give us grounds to be convinced that the medium in which the falling body moves has a significant influence on the nature of the motion. First of all, air acts as such a medium.

Indeed, let us drop a steel ball and a piece of paper from the same height. A piece of paper reaches the surface of the Earth in a much longer time than a ball. It may seem that this is due to the fact that the ball is more massive than a piece of paper. However, the crumpled piece of paper reaches the Earth's surface almost simultaneously with the steel ball. Probably, the results of the experiments can be explained by the resistance that air has to the falling bodies.

A piece of paper falling from the same height and a sheet of metal equal to it in area, again, make the same movement for clearly different times. But, on the other hand, it is worth putting a paper sheet on top of a metal sheet, as it stops lagging behind the metal sheet during the fall.

After carrying out such experiments, it becomes almost obvious that the effect of air on falling bodies is significant.

It can be assumed that in airless space, different bodies, regardless of their size, shape, substance from which they are made, under the same initial conditions will fall in the same way.

This assumption can be verified by direct experiment. To do this, you can take a long, closed tube in which, for example, a feather, a piece of paper, or a pellet are placed. If you evacuate air from the tube and allow these objects to fall from the same height, you can be convinced of the validity of the assumption put forward.

A more precise experiment is also possible. For example, it is possible to directly measure the fall time from the same height of several balls that differ significantly from each other in size and mass.

Within the limits of measurement accuracy, this time turns out to be the same.

We will hardly be able to study free fall in its pure form. But if we take into account that the air has a relatively small effect on the falling small metal balls, we will take their motion in air as a free fall model.

Let us ask ourselves a question: does the body's speed remain constant when it falls or does it change?

It is plausible to assume that the speed of the falling body increases during movement.

Simple direct observation is unlikely to allow us to prove the validity of this hypothesis. However, indirect evidence suggests that this is so. Such data include, for example, the impact sound, the height of the rebound of a metal ball falling on a wooden table from different heights.

If the speed of the falling body increases with time, then the question arises: is the acceleration of the falling body constant or not?

It is possible that free fall is a kind of uniformly accelerated motion. But it is also possible that the acceleration either increases or decreases as it moves.

If the first version is taken as a working version, then the time of falling of any body from different heights should be measured and in each case the estimated acceleration should be calculated using the known formula. If the calculations carried out taking into account the measurement accuracy will give the same result, the version will find its experimental confirmation. Otherwise, you will need to check alternative versions.

A similar experiment has been carried out several times. It turned out that the acceleration of gravity in a given area of \u200b\u200bthe Earth, provided that the height above its surface (in comparison with the radius of the Earth) changes insignificantly, is a constant value. On average, the acceleration of gravity near the Earth's surface is

An analysis of a stroboscopic photograph of the movement of a body thrown at an angle to the horizon shows that the movements made by the body in the horizontal direction over equal time intervals are equal. This means that the body moves uniformly in this direction. Movements in the vertical direction, made for the same equal intervals of time, are not equal to each other.

In the ascending segment, the trajectories decrease, while in the descending segment, they increase. This is due to the accelerated nature of body movement. The symmetry of the curve indicates that the acceleration modulus remains constant throughout the entire path segment.

Since the horizontal coordinate of a body thrown at an angle to the horizon changes over time according to a linear law, and along the vertical - according to a quadratic law, the trajectory of such a movement is a parabola.

It remains for us to consider the case when the load together with the scales makes a free fall, that is, when the scales are simply released from the hands (Fig. 129). Experience shows that during free fall, the balance arrow is set on the pool: the weight turns out to be zero. And this is understandable. After all, when the load falls under the influence of the attraction to the Earth, the spring of the balance “itself follows it” (see Fig. 129). Therefore, it does not deform. But if the spring does not deform, then no force from its side acts on the load attached to it. Therefore, the load is also not deformed and also does not act on the spring. The load became weightless.

The fact that during free fall the body weight is equal to zero follows directly from the formula

With the free fall of the body Consequently,

Under this condition, the dispute does not interact with the body.

The reason for weightlessness lies in the fact that the force of universal gravity imparts the same acceleration to the body and its support. Therefore, any body that moves only under the influence of the forces of universal gravity is in a state of weightlessness.

It is in such conditions that a freely falling body is found.

This amazing fact is illustrated by the following interesting experiment (Fig, 130). There is a block on the tripod, through which the thread is thrown. At the end of this thread is suspended a cup with two weights of a sufficiently large mass. The top weight fits snugly against the bottom. The other end of the string is attached to a tripod. A strip of tissue paper is placed between the weights. Its free end is held motionless in the hand. If the load is lowered slowly, then the paper, stretching, breaks, because the resting friction force acts on the clamped end of the strip. Now we replace the strip of paper with a new one and repeat the experiment so that the weight falls freely. If the load falls, the strip of paper remains unbreakable in your hands. This means that during the fall, the weights did not press on each other and the static friction force was zero. This proves that weights in free fall are in a state of weightlessness.

Exercise # 31

1. Is a body thrown vertically upward in a state of weightlessness? Disregard air friction.

2. To the frame, which can slide along two guide rods (Fig. 131), various weights are suspended on two identical springs. If you burn the thread with which the frame is fixed, the frame will fall freely (friction is small and can be neglected) and the deformation of the springs will disappear. Explain why the deformations of the springs disappear when the frame falls freely.

1. You are well aware that bodies fall to the ground if they are not supported by a support, suspension thread, hand, etc. When a body falls, its speed increases, that is, the falling of the bodies is an accelerated motion.

If we simultaneously release the metal and paper mugs from a certain height of the same size and observe their movement, we will notice that the metal circle will fall to the ground before the paper one. It can be assumed that the falling time of bodies depends on their mass. To make sure of this, take two identical sheets of paper, crumple one of them and simultaneously release them from our hands. The crumpled piece of paper will fall to the ground earlier. Consequently, different times of fall are not related to the mass of the bodies.

It is obvious that a crumpled sheet of paper and a smooth one experience different air resistance when dropped. This assumption can be confirmed experimentally.

Take a thick-walled tube, one end of which is sealed, and the other is equipped with a tap. A pellet, a piece of cork and a bird's feather are embedded in the tube (Fig. 33). If you quickly turn the tube over, these bodies will fall to its bottom. You can see that the pellet will fall before everyone else, and the feather - later than all the bodies. If you now pump out air from the tube and turn it over again by closing the tap, then all three bodies will reach the bottom of the tube at the same time, despite the fact that they have different shapes and weights. Consequently, all bodies in an airless space (in a vacuum) fall with the same acceleration, which is called free fall acceleration.

The fall of bodies in airless space is called free fall.

2. The free fall of bodies is a uniformly accelerated motion.

The free fall acceleration is always directed to the center of the Earth and has the same value for all bodies at the same initial position relative to the Earth's surface.

Indeed, as you already know, the modulus of movement of a body during uniformly accelerated motion without an initial velocity is calculated by the formula: s \u003d. From the experience described above, it follows that a pellet, a piece of cork and a bird's feather make the same movements at the same time intervals, so they all move with the same acceleration.

A body thrown vertically upward also moves uniformly with the acceleration of gravity. In this case, the velocity and acceleration vectors of the body are directed in opposite directions, and the velocity modulus decreases with time.

3. Free fall acceleration is denoted by the letter g... As you know from the 7th grade physics course, the acceleration of free fall depends on the geographical latitude of the area. At the latitude of Moscow near the surface of the Earth, it is equal to 9.81 m / s 2. When solving problems, if high accuracy of the result is not required, take g \u003d 10 m / s 2.

Free fall acceleration depends on the height of the body above the Earth's surface. The higher the body is lifted, the weaker it is attracted to the Earth and the less the acceleration of gravity. For example, for passenger aircraft, the maximum lift of which is about 10 km above sea level, the acceleration due to gravity at this height is 9.78 m / s 2. The heights at which modern fighters fly are characterized by a more significant decrease in the acceleration of gravity. So, at an altitude of 18 km, it is equal to 9.72 m / s 2.

The acceleration of gravity is even less important at altitudes where the orbits of artificial earth satellites and space stations are located. Thus, the maximum height of the first artificial Earth satellite relative to sea level was 947 km. The acceleration due to gravity at this height is 7.41 m / s 2.

4 * . Free fall was studied by an Italian scientist, one of the founders of classical mechanics, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) at the end of the XVI century. He dropped from the Leaning Tower of Pisa a ball weighing about 200 g and a body weighing 40 kg, having a cigar-like shape. Contrary to popular belief at the time, bodies reached the Earth's surface almost simultaneously. The ball was only a few centimeters behind. Galileo did not have accurate instruments for measuring time, he used an hourglass, so the value of the acceleration due to gravity was measured by him with a large error. In particular, in his work "Dialogue on the two most important systems of the world - Ptolemaic and Copernican" Galileo argued that bodies fell from a height of 60 m for 5 s and, based on these data, obtained the value of the acceleration of gravity almost 2 times less than that obtained in present time.

To improve the accuracy of the experiment on the study of uniformly accelerated motion and free fall, in particular, Galileo investigated the sliding of balls from an inclined plane. He experimentally established the proportionality of the path traversed by the ball to the square of time and the law of the ratio of the paths traversed by it in successive equal intervals of time.

5. An example of solving the problem

Two bodies simultaneously begin to move: one vertically upward at a speed of 20 m / s, the other vertically downward from a height of 60 m without an initial speed. Determine the time and coordinate of the meeting point for tel.

Given:

Decision

v 01 \u003d 20 m / s

v 02 = 0

h \u003d 60 m

g \u003d 10 m / s 2

Let us connect the frame of reference to the Earth. As the origin of coordinates, we take the point from which the first body was thrown from the surface of the Earth, the axis OY direct it upwards, we will take the moment of throwing the bodies as the starting point of time (Fig. 34).

t?

y?

We write the equation of motion in projections onto the axis OY:

y = y 0 + v 0y t + .

For the first body, this equation is:

y 1 = y 01 + v 01y t + .

Considering that y 01 = 0; v 01y = v 01 ; g y = –g, we get

y 1 = v 01 t – .

The equation of motion for the second body:

y 2 = y 02 + v 02y t + .

Insofar as y 02 = h; v 02y = 0; g y = –gthen

y 2 = h – .

At the moment the bodies meet, their coordinates will be the same: y 1 = y 2 = y... Then v 01 t –= h – ; v 01 t = h.

Hence the meeting time for bodies t = ;

t \u003d\u003d 3 sec.

We find the coordinate of the meeting place of the bodies from the equation of motion of the first body.

y \u003d 20 m / s 3 s - \u003d 15 m.

Answer: t \u003d 3 s; y \u003d 15 m.
