Answer:

v = 9.936 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height of cliff = 40 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

assuming that time to reach the sound to the player = 3 s

now,

time taken to fall of ball

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 40}{9.8}}

t = 2.857 s

distance

d = v  x t

d = v x 2.875

time traveled by the sound before reaching the player

t_0 = t - t_{fall}

t_0 = 3 - 2.875

t_0 = 0.143 s

distance traveled by the wave in this time'

r = 0.143 x 343

r= 49.05 m

now,

we know.

d² + h² = r²

d² + 40² = 49.05²

d =28.387 m

v x 2.875=28.387 m

v = 9.936 m/s

. Suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the Moon is 1.00 × 104 kg. The thrust of its engin
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a) The module's acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the Moon will be 1.377 \frac{m}{s^2}

b) Then we can say that a thrust of 3*10^{4} N won't be able to lift off the module from the Earth because it's smaller than the module's weight (9.8 *10^{4} N).

Explanation:

a) During a vertical takeoff, the sum of the forces in the vertical axis will be equal to mass times the module's acceleration. In this this case, the thrust of the module's engines and the total module's weight are the only vertical forces. (In the Moon, the module's weight will be equal to its mass times the Moon's gravity acceleration)

T-(m*g)=m*a

Where:

T= thrust =3 *10^{4} N

m= module's mass =1 *10^{4} N

g= moon's gravity acceleration =1.623 \frac{m}{s^2}

a= module's acceleration during takeoff

Then, we can find the acceleration like this:

a=\frac{T}{m} -g=\frac{3*{10}^4 N}{1*{10}^4 kg}-1.623\frac{m}{s^2}

a=1.377 \frac{m}{s^2}

The module's acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the Moon will be 1.377 \frac{m}{s^2}

b) To takeoff, the module's engines must generate a thrust bigger than the module's weight, which will be its mass times the Earth's gravity acceleration.

weight=m*g=(1*{10}^4 kg)*(9.8 \frac{m}{s^2})=9.8 *10^{4} N

Then we can say that a thrust of 3*10^{4} N won't be able to lift off the module from the Earth because it's smaller than the module's weight (9.8 *10^{4} N).

What is the definition of "gravitational potential energy"?
AVprozaik [17]
According to Georgia State University, gravitational potential energy<span> is the energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. This is most commonly in reference to an object near the surface of the Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.</span>
