KengaRu [80]3 years ago

Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}

Newton’s ideas on physics “won”, and aristotle’s ideas were kicked out of science and over into history. why?
mestny [16]
Basically, Newton's ideas matched up better with experiments and observations about the natural world than Aristotle's did. Newton gave a rigorous mathematical framework that made very specific predictions about our world, while Aristotle in general made more comparative laws, that even when true were less useful than the certainty Newton's laws gave us. Many of Newton's laws have been found to be at least partially incorrect now, for instance his laws of motion fall apart at speed nearing the speed of light, his laws of gravity fall apart when talking about more than two objects and in the presence of large gravitational fields that are close together, and Newton's law of cooling is just untrue in general (though can make some approximations in narrow temperature ranges).

How much kinetic energy does an 80 kg man have while running at 3 m/s?
Soloha48 [4]

Hello!

\large\boxed{KE = 360 J}

Use the equation KE = 1/2mv² to solve for the kinetic energy of the man.

We are given the mass and velocity, so plug these values into the equation:

KE = 1/2(80)(3²)

KE = 1/2(720)

KE = 360 J

If you kick a ball and the ball accelerates through the air, the forces involved must be

It would be kinetic and potential energy, potential from the force of the kick, and kinetic from energy exerted.

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (
Xelga [282]

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch
