Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

    gm = 1/6 ge

    gm = 1/6  9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

    R = Vo² sin 2θ  / g

    R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

    R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

   Y = Voy t – ½ g t2  

   Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial  height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½  g t2

0 = 25 sin (30)  t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t –  0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

 t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth

What must you know to find the amount of work done on an object
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work. A newton-meter is the same thing as a joule, so the units for work are the same as those for energy – joules.

Concept Simulation 2.3 offers a useful review of the concepts central to this problem. An astronaut on a distant planet wants to
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2

Calculate the distance travel if it accelerates from 0 to 27.8 meters per second in 2.5 seconds
luda_lava [24]

The distance travel is 69.5 meters.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given datas are as follows

Speed = 27.8 meters / second

Time = 2.5 seconds

The formula to calculate the speed using distance and time is

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units)

Then Distance = Speed × Time (units)

Distance = (27.8 × 2.5) meters          

Distance = 69.50 meters

Therefore the distance travelled is 69.50 meters.
