A stone is thrown vertically into the air at an initial velocity of 96 ft/s. On Mars, the height s (in feet) of the stone above
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

240 ft

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 96 ft/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 12 m/s² on Mars 32 ft/s² on Earth negative due to upward direction

Mars

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -12\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-6t^2\ ft

Earth

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -32\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96t-16t^2\ ft

Differentiating the first equation with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=96-12t

Equating with zero

0=96-12t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{12}=8\ s

Differentiating the second equation with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=96-32t

Equating with zero

0=96-32t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{96}{32}=3\ s

Applying the time taken to the above equations, we get

s=96t-6t^2\ ft\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 8-6\times 8^2\\\Rightarrow s=384

s=96t-16t^2\\\Rightarrow s=96\times 3-16\times 3^2\\\Rightarrow s=144

Difference in height = 384-144 = 240 ft

The stone will travel 240 ft higher on Mars

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?​
NemiM [27]
The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Mars has twice the mass of Mercury and is 4 times further away from the Sun. Calculate theratio of the gravitational force from
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2   force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2    force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

Calculate the change in length of concrete sidewalk (coefficient of linear expansion for concrete is 12*10^-6/celcius) that is 1
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 5.4 cm

Explanation:

This problem refers to calculate the change in length in one dimension due to a change in temperature.

Data

α = 12 x 10⁻⁶

Lo = 150 meters

ΔT = 30 °C

Formula

                    ΔL/Lo = αΔT

solve for ΔL

                    ΔL = αLoΔT

Substitution

                    ΔL = (12 x 10⁻⁶)(150)(30)

Simplification

                    ΔL = 0054 m = 5.4 cm
