Chapter 1: Q. 16 (page 29)

A roof tile falls straight down from a two-story building. It

lands in a swimming pool and settles gently to the bottom. Draw a complete motion diagram of the tile.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tile will move along the surface of the swimming pool with an increasing speed and passing through the water, the tile will attain a constant speed up to its reach at the bottom surface.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

A roof tile falls down into a swimming pool from a two-storied building.

We have to draw a motion diagram of the tile from the start position to the bottom of the water.

02

Motion diagram

The speed of the tile will change in three different modes. Starting from the beginning the speed of the tile is zero. Approaching along the swimming pool, the average speed of the tile is gradually increasing and crossing the surface of water again the speed of the tile is slowed down and further move with a constant speed. The position of the tile is shown with dots as given in the image below:
