You have landed on an unknown planet, newtonia, and want to know what objects will weigh there. you find that when a certain too

l is pushed on a frictionless horizontal surface by a 12.7 n force, it moves 16.1 m in the first 2.50 s , starting from rest. you next observe that if you release this tool from rest at 10.3 m above the ground, it takes 2.88 s to reach the ground.

Refer to the diagram shown.

Because the surface is frictionless, the resistive for, R, is zero.

Let m = the mass of the object.
Let a =  acceleration due to the applied force.
Therefore
12.7 N = (m kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 12.7/m  m/s²

The object travels  16.1 m in 2.5 s, starting from rest. Therefore
16.1 N = (1/2)*(12.7/m m/s²)*(2.5 s)² = 39.6875/m  N
m = 16.1/39.6875 = 0.4057 kg

For freefall, let g =  acceleration due to gravity.
The time to fall from 10.3 m is 2.88 s, therefore
10.3 m = (1/2)*(g m/s²)*(2.88 s)² = 4.1472g m
g = 10.3/4.1472 = 2.484 m/s²

Answer:
The gravitational acceleration on the planet is 2.5 m/s² (nearest tenth)

How long does it take the lava bomb to reach its maximum height? Answer with three significant digits and the correct unit. A sm
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m

The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity  = 0 m/s at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to reach the maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t

∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t

t = 31.4/9.8  ≈ 3.204

The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds

The average 8- to 18-year-old spends __________ per day on average in front of a screen doing very little to no physical activit
natta225 [31]

Answer:

D. 3 hours or more

Explanation:

The average 8- to 18-year-old spends at least D. 3 hours every day in front of a screen, performing little to no physical activity. This is because, instead of exercising and socializing with their peers, children and teenagers frequently talk, watch a lot of movies/shows, or play video games on their computers. Unfortunately, this is typically considerably more than three hours every day. Although some children still prefer physical activities over this, the bulk of the population does not.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

 P=Ro*g*h

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be  

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.  

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C
