An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s, as shown in

the figure. The rock reaches the ground 10s after it is thrown. The atmosphere of Planet X has a negligible effect on the rock when it is in free fall. Determine the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X.

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s².

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 100 m
  • initial velocity of the rock, u = 15 m/s
  • time of motion of the rock, t = 10 s

The acceleration due to gravity is calculated as follows;

h = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\100 = 15(10) - (0.5\times 10^2)g\\\\100 = 150 - 50g\\\\50g = 150-100\\\\50g = 50\\\\g = 1 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s²

beks73 [17]

Answer:

The power decreases by 36%

Explanation:

Given:

At 20° C

Power, P₀ = 300 W

Potential difference, V = 150 volts

Now, power is given as

P = V²/R

where, R is the resistance

on substituting the values, we get

300 = 150²/R₀

or

R₀ = 75 Ω

Now, the variation of resistance with temperature is given as

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

where, α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125 (°C⁻¹)

now, at

T₀ = 20° C

R₀ = 75 Ω

for

T = 1820° C

we have

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

substituting the values

we get

R = 75×[1 + 0.0003125 × (1820 - 20)]

or

R = 117.18 Ω

Now using the formula for power

We have,

P = V²/R

or

P = 150²/117.18 = 192 W

Therefore, the percentage change will be

= \frac{P-P_0}{P_0}\times 100

on substituting the values , we get

= \frac{192-300}{300}\times 100

= -36%

here, negative sign depicts the decrease in power

Natalija [7]
The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side  effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify
Rudiy27
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.
