On Mars, where air resistance is negligible, an astronaut drops a rock from a cliff and notes that the rock falls about d meters

during the first t seconds of its fall. Assuming the rock does not hit the ground first, how far will it fall during the first 4t seconds of its fall?

The distance covered by the rock during the 4t seconds of its fall will be \fbox{16d}.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance covered by the rock in t\text{ sec} is d.

Concept:

As the astronaut drops the rock from the top of a cliff, the stone falls freely under the acceleration due to gravity of the Mars. This motion of the rock on the surface of the mass occurs according to the second equation of motion.

\boxed{S=v_it+\dfrac{1}{2}g_mt^2}

Here, S is the distance covered by the rock, v_i is the initial velocity of the rock, g_m is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars and t is the time for which the rock falls.

Since the rock is dropped from the top of the cliff, the rock will not have any initial velocity. So, the initial velocity of the rock will be zero.

Substitute the values in the given equation.

d=0(t)+\dfrac{1}{2}g_mt^2\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}g_mt^2

Now, in order to find the distance covered by the rock as it falls for time 4t, substitute 4t for t in the above expression.

\begin{aligned}d'&=0(t)+\dfrac{1}{2}g_m(4t)^2\\&=16.\dfrac{1}{2}g_mt^2\end{aligned}

Substitute d for \dfrac{1}{2}g_mt^2 in above expression.

d'=16.d

Thus, The distance covered by the rock during the 4t seconds of its fall will be \fbox{16d}.

Answer:

d_1 = 16 d

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the fall of the stone is ZERO

v_i = 0

also the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is g

so we have

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

now we have

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g t^2

now if the same is dropped for 4t seconds of time

then again we will use above equation

d_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g(4t)^2

d_1 = 16(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)

d_1 = 16 d

Calculate the mass (in SI units) of (a) a 160 lb human being; (b) a 1.9 lb cockatoo. Calculate the weight (in English units) of
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb

Hence, this is the required solution.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:3.6\ kW

Explanation:

Given

Power Supplied [tex]P_{input}=4\ kW[/tex]

Efficiency of the motor \neta =90\%

and \neta =\dfrac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}}

\Rightarrow 0.9=\dfrac{P_{out}}{4}

\Rightarrow P=0.9\times 4

\Rightarrow P=3.6\ kW

So, vacuum cleaner delivers a power of 3.6\ kW
