Answer:

1.57 s

Explanation:

Since the motion of the hammer is a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance covered by the hammer in a time t is

S=\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where, in this case

S = 2.0 m is the distance covered

a = 1.62 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the time the hammer takes:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.0 m)}{1.62 m/s^2}}=1.57 s

The time taken by the hammer to fall on the surface of the moon is  \boxed{1.57\,{\text{s}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is  1.62\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}.

The height from which the hammer falls towards the surface is  2\,{\text{m}}.

Concept:

The hammer falls freely without action of any force or any friction of the medium. It will fall freely under the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon.

The motion of the hammer freely under the gravity is governed by the second equation of motion. The second equation of motion can be written as:

\boxed{S=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{t^2}}

Here, S is the distance through which the hammer falls, u is the initial speed of the hammer and a is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon.

Since the hammer is just dropped, the initial velocity of the hammer will be zero.

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\begin{aligned}2&=\left( {0 \times t}\right)+\left( {\frac{1}{2}\times 1.62 \times {t^2}}\right) \\t&=\sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 2}}{{1.62}}} \,{\text{s}}\\&= 1.{\text{57}}\,{\text{s}}\\\end{aligned}

Thus, the time taken by the hammer to fall on the surface of the moon is  \boxed{1.57\,{\text{s}}}.

What occurs when two Stars collide into each other?
ddd [48]

Answer:

A stellar collision.

Explanation:

A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.

a solution made by dissolving 116 g of CaCl2 in 64 g of water has a density of 1.180 g/ml at 20 degrees celsius what is the mola
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The molarity of CaCl2 in the solution is 4.94 M

Explanation:

First of all you need to calculate CaCl2 mass.

You have one atom of Ca = 40.07 g/mol and two atoms of Cl = 35.45 g/mol so the molecule has a mass of 110.97 g/mol.

Now, knowing that your solution will have a mass of 64 grams of water + 116 grams of CaCl2 = 180 grams, you can calculate its volume, knowing that density = mass/volume

density x mass = volume --> 1,180 g/ml x 180 g = 212.4 ml

In 212.4 ml, you have 116 grams of CaCl2. You can calculate how many moles of CaCl2 you have:

110.97 g ------ 1 mol

116 g -------- x = (116 g x 1 mol) / 110.97 g =  1.05 moles

The molarity in a solution equals how many moles of a certain solute you have in 1000 ml of solution. In this solution, you have 1.05 moles in 212.4 ml, so in 1000 ml you will have:

212.4 ml ------- 1.05 moles

1000 ml -------- x = (1000 ml x 1.05 moles) / 212.4 ml = 4.94 moles.

This means the molarity of CaCl2 in the solution is 4.94 M.
