Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

a fan is rotating clockwise and its acceleration has a positive sign. is the angular velocity of the fan speeding up, slowing do
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The angular velocity is slowing down.

Explanation:

  • By convention, if a rigid body is rotating clockwise, the angular velocity is negative.
  • If the angular acceleration has a positive sign, since the angular acceleration and the angular velocity have opposite signs, this means that the angular velocity is slowing down.

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min
