You have just landed on planet x. you take out a 250-g ball, release it from rest from a height of 12.0 m, and measure that it t

akes 2.4 s to reach the ground. you can ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. how much does the 250-g ball weigh on the surface of planet x? 104.16667 incorrect: your answer is incorrect. n

For the first step, since we know the time it takes to fall 12 meters, 
we can calculate the acceleration of gravity on Planet-X. 

           Falling distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time²)

                            (12 m)  =  (1/2) (gravity) (2.4 seconds)²

                                        =   (1/2 gravity)  (5.76 seconds²)

Divide each side by  (5.76 s²) :

                       1/2 gravity  =  (12 m) / (5.76 s²)

                             gravity  =  (24 m) / (5.76 s²)

                           Gravity  =  4.17 m/s²     (42.5% of Earth gravity)

Now that we know the acceleration  of gravity on Planet-X,
we can calculate the weight of the ball, (or of any mass).

           Weight of any mass = (mass) x (gravity)

For the ball,     Weight = (0.250 kg) x (4.17 m/s²)

                                    =   1.042 Newton

(The same 250-gram ball would weigh 2.45 newtons on Earth.)

Tresset [83]

Answer:

A) conductors

Explanation:

A conductor can be defined as any material or object that allows the free flow of current or electrons (charge) in one or more directions in an electrical circuit. Some examples of a conductor are metals, tungsten, copper, aluminum, iron, graphite, etc.

Basically, the main purpose of a conductor in physics is to provide a low-resistance path between electrical circuits or components. This low-resistance path is to ensure that the electrical components allows the free flow of electrons and thus, enabling charge transfer.

Hence, the electrons in conductors move about more freely than the electrons in insulators which is why this type of material can be used to create electric circuits because it would significantly provide a low-resistance path between the electric circuits.
