<h2>Distance traveled in 1 second after drop is 4.9 m</h2><h2>Distance traveled in 4 seconds after drop is 78.4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have s = ut + 0.5at²

For a free falling object initial velocity u = 0 m/s and acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting

                 s = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.8 x t²

                 s = 4.9t²

We need to find distance traveled in 1 s and 4 s

Distance traveled in 1 second

                   s = 4.9 x 1² = 4.9 m

Distance traveled in 4 seconds

                   s = 4.9 x 4² = 78.4 m

Distance traveled in 1 second after drop = 4.9 m

Distance traveled in 4 seconds after drop = 78.4 m

Setler [38]

Answer:

a)  M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg ,  b)   T = 1.43 10³ s

Explanation:

a) This exercise should be solved in several parts, let's start by calculating the acceleration of gravity of this planet from kinematics

          v = v₀ - a t

As it indicates that there is no atmosphere, the friction force is zero and the initial and final velocity have the same module, but the opposite direction

         a = (v₀ - v) / t

         a = (15 - (-15)) /9.00 = 30/9

         a = 3.33 m / s²

Now we use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal attraction

          F = m a

         G m M / r² = m a

         M = a r² / G

Let's calculate

         M = 3.33 (1.00 10⁵)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg

b) The period of the ship's orbit

In this case we have a centripetal acceleration

The radius of the orbit is the radius of the plant plus the height of the ship from the surface

         R = R_{m} + h

         R = 1 10⁵ + 2.00 10⁴

         R = 12 10⁴ m

         F = m a

        G m M / R² = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / R

The orbit is circular therefore the velocity module is constant, so we can use the equation of uniform motion, where the distance is the length of the orbit, for a circle

        d = 2π R

        v = d / t

        v = 2π R / T

Let's replace

        G m M / R² = m (2π R / T)² / R

        G M = R³ 4π² / T²

        T² = 4π² R³ / G M

       T² = (4π² (12 10⁴)³ / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 4,997 10²⁰)

       T² = 6.82 10¹⁶ / 3.33 10¹⁰

       T = √ (2,048 10⁶)

       T = 1.43 10³ s

A golf ball is released from rest from the top of a very tall building. Choose a coordinate system whose origin is at the starti
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Velocity of the ball after 3.04 (s) = 29.79 (m/s)

Explanation:

From the free fall movement we have the following formulas: Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh and h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2}, First we need to find the height to time iqual to 3.04 s using the formula: h=Vo*t - \frac{g*t^{2} }{2} and remember that golf ball was released from the rest (Vo= 0 (m/s)) so h= (0 (m/s))*(3.04 (s)) - \frac{9.8 (m/s^2)*(3.04 (s))^{2} }{2}, we get: h = -45.28 (m) with the height that we have got, now the velocity of the ball is calculate using Vf^{2} = Vo^{2} - 2gh solving for Vf, we get: Vf = \sqrt{Vo^{2}-2*g*h } replacing the values given Vf = \sqrt{(0 m/s)^{2}-2*(9.8 m/s^2)*(-45.28 m) }, so we get: Vf = 29.79 (m/s).

How much heat is needed to boil 120 kg of water ?
nekit [7.7K]
Q = mc<span>∆t, where:
q = energy flow
m = mass, 120 000 g
c = specific heat capacity, 4.81 J/gC
</span><span>∆t = change in temperature, ~75 (100 - 25, which is room temperature)

Substituting in the values, we get:
q = 120000 x 4.81 x 75 = 43290000 Joules = 43.29 MJ

Hope I helped!! xx
