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

vazorg [7]

Answer:

little/no

Explanation:

Conductors are materials, which conduct electricity and/or heat. That means, that their resistance to such energy is so little, that an electric current is able to pass through.

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
