Astronauts on the first trip to Mars take along a pendulumthat has a period on earth of 1.50 {\rm s}. The period on Mars turns o
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

3.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the free-fall acceleration on the planet.

In this problem, we know that the period of the pendulum on Earth is:

T_e = 1.50 s

while the period of the same pendulum on Mars is

T_m = 2.45 s

And since the length of the pendulum L does not change, we can write:

\frac{T_e}{T_m}=\frac{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}}{2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}}=\sqrt{\frac{g_m}{g_e}}

where

g_e = 9.8 m/s^2 is the free-fall acceleration on Earth

g_m = ? is the free-fall acceleration on Mars

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find:

g_m = \frac{T_e^2}{T_m^2}g_e=\frac{(1.50 s)^2}{(2.45 s)^2}(9.8 m/s^2)=3.7 m/s^2

An astronaut on the moon drops a feather from rest (v = 0). The acceleration due to gravity is 1.67 m/s​ 2​ . If the feather beg
olga_2 [115]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity on moon , g_m=1.67\ m/s^2 .

Height , h = 2 m .

To Find :

Final position after falling for 1.5 seconds .

Solution :

We know , by equation of motion :

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Here , a = g_m .

So , equation will transform by :

s=ut+\dfrac{g_mt^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{1.67\times 1.5^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=1.88\ m

Therefore , the height form moon's surface is 1.88 m .

Hence , this is the required solution .

A spring has a force constant of 310.0 N/m. (a) Determine the potential energy stored in the spring when the spring is stretched
skad [1K]

Answer:

(a) 0.2618 J

(b)  0.1558 J

(c) 0 J

Explanation:

from Hook's Law,

The energy stored in a stretched spring = 1/2ke²

Ep = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant, e = extension, E p = potential energy stored in the spring.

(a) When The spring is stretched to 4.11 cm,

Given: k = 310 N/m, e = 4.11 cm = 0.0411 m

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 1/2(310)(0.0411)²

Ep = 155(0.0016892)

Ep =155×0.0016892

Ep = 0.2618 J.

(b) When the spring is stretched 3.17 cm

e = 3.17 cm = 0.0317 m.

Ep = 1/2(310)(0.0317)²

Ep = 155(0.0317)²

Ep = 155(0.0010049)

Ep = 0.155758 J

Ep ≈ 0.1558 J.

(c) When the spring is unstretched,

e = 0 m, k = 310 N/m

Ep = 1/2(310)(0)²

Ep = 0 J.

An engineer weighs a sample of mercury (ρ = 13.6 × 103 kg/m3 ) and finds that the weight of the sample is 6.0 n. what is the sam
Amanda [17]
Given:
ρ = 13.6 x 10³ kg/m³, density of mercury
W = 6.0 N, weight of the mercury sample
g = 9.81 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

Let V =  the volume of the sample.
Then
W = ρVg
or
V =  W/(ρg)
   = (6.0 N)/[(13.6 x 10³ kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)]
   = 4.4972 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Answer: The volume is 44.972 x 10⁻⁶ m³
