Answer:

0.91437 m

0.22859 m

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

s=81\ inches=81\times 0.0254=2.0574\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.0574=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.0574\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.64764\ s

When the time intervals are equal, if four drops are falling then we have 3 time intervals.

So, the time interval is

t'=\dfrac{t}{3}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{0.64764}{3}\\\Rightarrow t'=0.21588\ s

For second drop time is given by

t''=2t'\\\Rightarrow t''=2\times 0.21588\\\Rightarrow t''=0.43176\ s

Distance from second drop

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow y''=ut''+\dfrac{1}{2}at''^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.43176^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.91437\ m

Distance from second drop is 0.91437 m

Distance from third drop

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow y''=ut'+\dfrac{1}{2}at'^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.21588^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.22859\ m

Distance from third drop is 0.22859 m

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

a new planet is discovered that has twice the earth’s mass and twice the earth’s radius. on the surface of this new planet, a pe
Irina18 [472]

Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!
