How Long Until a Dropped Ball Hits 25 m/s?

AI Thread Summary
A metal ball is dropped from a tall building with an initial velocity of 0 m/s, and the question seeks to determine how long it takes to reach a velocity of 25 m/s. To solve this, it's important to apply the relevant physics equations that relate velocity and acceleration. The acceleration of the ball is due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s². The discussion emphasizes the need to use the Homework Help Template for clarity and encourages the poster to identify applicable equations and their components. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping the problem and succeeding in physics.

I know the question is simple... but I don't get it.

A metal ball is thrown from a tall building V0= 0. When will it reach V=25 m/s?

This is my first question, I seem to like physics yet I don't understand anything... accept electricity, but the rest, I don't. I hope I don't annoy anoyone but I really need help because I want to be good at this subject. Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the PF.

When posting schoolwork questions, we ask you to use the Homework Help Template that you are provided when you start a new thread here. You need to fill out the sections of the Template, including the Relevant Equations, and show your Attempt at a solution.

What equations do you think apply to this question? You need an equation that relates the velocity to the acceleration of the ball.

And what provides the acceleration force to this ball?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
