An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o

bject suspended from it. Assume a wire of mass 3.60 g is 1.60 m long and has a 3.00-kg object suspended from it. A pulse requires 60.1 ms to traverse the length of the wire. Calculate gplanet from these data. (You may neglect the mass of the wire when calculating the tension in it.)
gplanet = m/s2

Answer:

0.53m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wire=m=3.6 g=3.6\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Length of wire=l=1.6 m

Mass of object=m'=3 kg

Time,t=60.1 ms=60.1\times 10^{-3} s

1 ms=10^{-3} s

Speed,v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{1.6}{60.1\times 10^{-3}}=26.62 m/s

g=\frac{v^2m}{m'l}

Using the formula

g=\frac{(26.62)^2\times 3.6\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 1.6}=0.53m/s^2

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 31.0 m/s and lands 156.3 m from the base of a ramp how high is th
BartSMP [9]

<u>Answer:</u>

The height of ramp = 124.694 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using second equation of motion,

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

From the question,

u = 31 m/s; s = 156.3 m, a=0

substituting values

156.3 = 31\times t + 0

t = \frac{156.3}{31 }

= 5.042 s

Similary, for the case of landing

t = 5.042 s; initial velocity, u =0

acceleration = acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting in h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times (5.042)^2

h = 124.694 m

So height of ramp = 124.694 m

How do you find the force of a ping-pong ball rolling down a track?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Weight

a) weight's vertical component = Normal upward force

b) weight's horizontal component = Friction force = (mass of ball)(acceleration)

These forces depend upon the track,

1) inclined or horizontal

2) steepness.

Explanation

The force of gravity points straight down, but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn't go straight down, it follows the ramp. Therefore, only the component of the weight which points along the direction of the ball's motion can accelerate the ball.

weight's horizontal component = Friction force = (mass of ball)(acceleration)

The other component pushes the ball into the ramp, and the ramp pushes back.

If the ramp is horizontal, then the ball does not accelerate, as gravity pushes the ball into the ramp and not along the surface of the ramp. Hope this helps. Can u give me brainliest

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.
