Hello, I am a new member looking for the answer to a question I recently had on an exam. I will not know if I got it right for up to 6 weeks so am curious.
Question is: A faucet drips water at 5 drops per second. calculate the distance in metres between the first and second drop after the first drop reaches 3 metres per second.I was a bit rushed so simply used v-u/a =t for time for first drop to reach 3 m/s
Then divided 5 drop per second to get 0.2. then subtracted the 0.2 from time in first equation, then used the new time in this formula s=(v+u/2)t.
I feel like this was too simple?
Thanks
Russ
