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 1500 kg car traveling at 80.0 km/h comes to a screeching halt in a time of 4.00 seconds. Calculate the force of friction exper
amm1812

Answer:

F=m x a

(F is force ,M is mass and A is acceleration)

in thisncase the Mass is given but we need to find ou the acceleration

Formula for acceleration-

a=(v - u)/t

(v is final velocity , u is initiatal velocity and t is time)

a = (0 - 80)/4

a= -80/4

a= -20

By substituting the values-

F= m x a

F= 1500 x -20

F=-30000N

Thus the force acted is -30000N

hope this helps

A 2.0kg rock is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 30m/s. Ignore air resistance. What is the net force acting on th
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

19.6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 2kg

Speed  = 30m/s

Unknown:

Net force on the rock  = ?

Solution:

The net force acting on this rock is a function of the acceleration due to gravity acting upon it.

 Net force  = weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

 Net force  = 2 x 9.8  = 19.6N downward

Question #6a) You were told to assume that the ball bounced to a height of 1.2 m and that the distance between the bounces measu
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the problem they give the case of a ball that bounces on the vertical axis the height is getting smaller, on the x axis it is the same distance all the time.

Questions about the aspect of the x-axis

- Since the distance traveled between the rebounds is the same, the speed must be the same or constant throughout the entire journey.

- Since the distance and speed are equal, the time between rebounds is the same

- There can be no acceleration because the bounce gap should change, the acceleration is zero all the time

Questions about the Y axis

- The vertical speed of the first boat would be the greatest of all, so it has the highest height

b) Evidence or not Evidence

1  evidence, because the graphs are different, one is a straight line and he gives a parable

2 no evidence, nothing involved on the x axis

3  no evidence, the acceleration on the y axis is independent of the acceleration on the x axis

4  no evidence, the time that is cast is the only change that is the same for both movements

5  evidence, the fact that no mixture of components is found allows the variable to be separated into different equations

6  no evidence, says nothing about the x-axis
