Maximum height using Newton's second law

AI Thread Summary
To find the maximum height (Hmax) and the time (tmax) for a small object with a mass of 10 grams thrown vertically upward at 10 m/s using Newton's second law, the relevant force is the weight (FB = mg). The acceleration due to gravity (g) acts downward, resulting in a net force of F = -mg. By applying F = ma, the mass cancels out, leading to the equations of motion for constant acceleration. The maximum height can be calculated by integrating the equations of motion, while ensuring that the calculations adhere strictly to Newton's second law as specified in the exercise. The discussion emphasizes the importance of following the exercise's constraints and using the correct approach to derive the necessary equations.

a small object with mass m=10gr is thrown vertically upwards from the surface of Earth with a velocity v=10m/s

i need to find the max height(Hmax) (when v=0) and the time(tmax) when the object reaches the max height by using Newton's second law only.

(ignore the effect of air and air resistance to the object).

What equations do you know that may help here?
 
I'm trying to solve this with \vec{F}=m*a→\vec{F}=m*d2\vec{r}/dt2
and FB(the weight)=m*g

so F=-FB*\hat{k}

but then the mass disappears so i am sure I'm doing this wrong, because the exercise tells me the mass of the object. i have to use it somehow
if i ignore this, i integrate the above equation then i put u=0 and i find tmax. then by using the equation of motion i find the max height. the numbers are correct because i tried it with energy equations but i am sure it's the wrong way.
 
You don't have to use all the data points all the time... using conservation of energy seems like a good plan for max height to me.

yes i know but the exercise says it clearly to use only Newton's second law. that's why I'm stuck
 
OK then. What is Newton's second law? F = ma. From this you can derive the equations of motion for constant acceleration. Does that help any?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
