True or false: objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s because of centripetal force.

Sadly, no. The statement kind of has some appropriate words in it, but it's badly corrupted. Objects don't fall to Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s, and the force that accelerates them downward is not a centripetal one.

neptune is an average distance of 4.5×10^12m from the sun. Estimate the length of the Neptunian year.

Vikentia [17]

As per Kepler's third law we know that

$\frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{R_1^3}{R_2^3}$

now here we know that

$T_1$ = year of Neptune

$T_2$ = year of Earth

$R_1$ = distance of Neptune from Sun

$R_2$ = Distance of Earth from Sun

so now we will have

$\frac{T_1^2}{1} = \frac{(4.5 \times 10^{12})^3}{(1.5 \times 10^11)^3}$

$T_1^2 = 27000$

$T_1 = 164.3 years$

so length of year of Neptune is 164.3 years

If you fired a rifle straight upwards at 1000 m/s, how far up will the bullet get?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

h = 51020.40 meters

Explanation:

Speed of the rifle, v = 1000 m/s

Let h is the height gained by the bullet. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

$h=\dfrac{(1000\ m/s)^2}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 51020.40 meters

So, the bullet will get up to a height of 51020.40 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
