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

A pendulum is formed by taking a 2.0 kg mass and hanging it from the ceiling using a steel wire with a diameter of 1.1 mm. it is

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: 1.39 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$\frac{\Delta l}{l_{o}}=\frac{F}{AY}$ (1)

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_{o}}{g}}$ (2)

Where:

$\Delta l=0.05 mm=5(10)^{-5} m$ is the length the steel wire streches (taking into account 1mm=0.001 m)

$l_{o}$ is the length of the steel wire before being streched

$F=mg=(2 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})=19.6 N$ is the force due gravity (the weight) acting on the pendulum with mass $m=2 kg$

$A$ is the transversal area of the wire

$Y=2(10)^{11} Pa$ is the Young modulus for steel

$T$ is the period of the pendulum

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's begin by finding $A$ :

$A=\pi r^{2}=\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}=\pi \frac{d^{2}}{4}$ (3)

Where $d=1.1 mm=0.0011 m$ is the diameter of the wire

$A=\pi \frac{(0.0011 m)^{2}}{4}$ (4)

$A=9.5(10)^{-7}m^{2}$ (5)

Knowing this area we can isolate $l_{o}$ from (1):

$l_{o}=\frac{\Delta l AY}{F}$ (6)

And substitute $l_{o}$ in (2):

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\Delta l AY}{F}}{g}}$ (7)

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{(5(10)^{-5} m)(9.5(10)^{-7}m^{2})(2(10)^{11} Pa)}{2(10)^{11} Pa}}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (8)

Finally:

$T=1.39 s$

A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from t

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward) in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward) in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward) in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward) in 200 cm

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a) $t=195.948N.m$

b) $\phi=13.6 \textdegree$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density $\rho=1.225kg/m^2$

Velocity of wind $v=14m/s$

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient $\mu=2.05$

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

$F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2$

$F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2$

$F=163.29$

Therefore Torque

$t=F*r*sin\theta$

$t=163.29*1.2*sin90$

$t=195.948N.m$

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

$t=d*Mg*sin90$

Where

$d=sin \phi$

Therefore

$t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90$

$195.948=833sin \phi$

$\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}$

$\phi=13.6 \textdegree$
