On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on t
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) 6 times farther.  b) 6 times longer.

Explanation:

Once released, in the horizontal direction, no other forces act on the ball, so it continues moving at the same initial velocity, which is given by the projection of the velocity vector in the horizontal direction, as follows:

vₓ = v* cos (25º) = 23 m/s * 0.906 = 20.8 m/s

In the vertical direction, the initial velocity is the projection of the velocity vector along the vertical axis, as follows:

vy = v* sin (25º) = 23 m/s * 0.422 = 9.72 m/s

Assuming that the acceleration is constant, and equal to 1/6*g, we can calculate the total time of flight, with the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

y = voy*t - (\frac{1}{2}*\frac{g}{6} * t^{2} )

If the total displacement in the vertical direction is 0 (which means  that the time if the total time of flight), we can solve for t, as follows:

t = \frac{voy*12}{g} = \frac{9.72 m/s*12}{9.8m/s2} = 11. 9 s

On earth, this time could be calculated in the same way:

t = \frac{voy*12}{g} = \frac{9.72 m/s*2}{9.8m/s2} = 1.98 s

As the time is defined by the vertical movement, we can find the horizontal distance travelled on the moon, as follows:

Δx = v₀ₓ * t = 20.8 m/s * 11. 9 s = 248.1 m

On earth, the distance travelled had been as follows:

Δx = v₀ₓ * t = 20.8 m/s * 1.98 s = 41.3 m

⇒ Δx(moon) / Δx(earth) = 248.1 / 41.3 = 6.00

b) As we have just found, the time of flight on the moon and on the earth are as follows:

tmoon = 11. 9 s

tearth = 1.98 s

⇒ t(moon) / t(earth) = 11.9 / 1.98 = 6.0

Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable,
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) V = 195.70 m/s

b) f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) T = 3311.25 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength, λ = 646 Km = 646000 m

Distance traveled = 3410 Km = 3410000 m

Time = 4.84 h = 4.84 × 3600 s = 17424 seconds

a) The speed (V) of the wave is given as

V = distance / time

V = 3410000 m/ 17424 seconds

or

V = 195.70 m/s

b) The frequency (f) of the wave is given as:

f = V / λ

f= 195.70 / 646000

f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) The time period (T)  is given as:

T = 1/ f

T = 1/ (3.02 × 10⁻⁴) Hz

T = 3311.25 seconds

The maximum height a typical person can jump is about 60cm (0.6m). By how much does the gravitational potential energy increase
sasho [114]

The gravitational potential energy will increase by 423.36 J

<h3>How to determine the potential energy at ground level</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 72 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 0 m
  • Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) =?

PE = mgh

PE₁ = 72 × 9.8 × 0

PE₁ = 0 J

<h3>How to determine the potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m)</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 72 kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Height (h) = 0.6 m
  • Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) =?

PE = mgh

PE₂ = 72 × 9.8 × 0.6

PE₂= 423.36 J

<h3>How to determine the change in potential energy </h3>
  • Potential energy at ground level (PE₁) = 0 J
  • Potential energy at 60 cm (0.6 m) (PE₂) = 423.36 J
  • Change in potential energy =?

Change in potential energy = PE₂ - PE₁

Change in potential energy = 423.36 - 0

Change in potential energy = 423.36 J
