What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?
mario62 [17]

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

The current in a toaster is 20 amps, and its voltage is 200 volts. What is the resistance in the toaster?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. 

V = IR
200 = 20R
R = 10 ohms</span>

An object starts at the 100 m mark and ends up at the -100 m mark, 50
horsena [70]
It traveled 200 m in 50 seconds. 200/50 can be simplified to 4 m/s!
The velocity is -4 m/s (negative because it travelled from 100 to -100 or backwards)

At what distance from Earth does the force of gravity exerted by Earth on the coasting spacecraft cancel the force of gravity ex
telo118 [61]

Answer:

346 * 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The force of gravity of the earth that will cancel the the force of gravity exerted by the moon will be equal to each other

Let F_{e} be the force of gravity exerted by the earth

and let F_{m} be the force of gravity exerted by the moon

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of attraction between two different masses, m₁ and m₂ separated by a distance, d,  is given by:

F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }

Mass of the earth, m_{e} = 5.97 * 10^{24} kg

Mass of the moon, m_{m} = 7.348 * 10^{22} kg

Mass of the satellite, m_{s} = ?

F_{e}  = \frac{G*5.97 * 10^{24} M }{d^{2} }...............................(1)

The earth and the moon are separated by a distance, 3.844 * 10⁸ m

F_{m}  = \frac{G*7.348 * 10^{22} M }{(3.844 * 10^{8} - d) ^{2} }............................(2)

Equating equations (1) and (2)

\frac{5.97 * 10^{24} }{d^{2} } = \frac{7.348 * 10^{24} }{(3.844* 10^{8} -d)^{2} }

(5.97 * 10^{24})(14.78 * 10^{16}  -7.688*10^{8}d + d^{2}) = 7.348 * 10^{24} d^{2} \\88.24*10^{40} - 45.9 * 10^{32}d +  5.97 * 10^{24}d^{2} =  7.348 * 10^{24} d^{2}\\ 1.378 * 10^{24}d^{2} + 45.9 * 10^{32}d + 88.24*10^{40} = 0\\

Factorising out 10^{24}

1.378d^{2} + 45.9 * 10^{8}d + 88.24*10^{16} = 0

Solving for d in the quadratic equation  above:

d = 346 * 10⁶ m
