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

If the period of the pendulum is tripled, what is the length of the string increased by?
Nitella [24]
The period of the pendulum doesn't determine the length of the string. 
It's the other way around.

The period of the pendulum is proportional to the square root of its length.
So if you want to triple the period, you have to make the string nine times
as long as it is now.

A spring stretches by 0.0208 m when a 3.39-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring
sashaice [31]

Answer:

COMPLETE QUESTION

A spring stretches by 0.018 m when a 2.8-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring so that its frequency of vibration is f = 3.0 Hz?

Explanation:

Given that,

Extension of spring

x = 0.0208m

Mass attached m = 3.39kg

Additional mass to have a frequency f

Let the additional mass be m

Using Hooke's law

F= kx

Where F = W = mg = 3.39 ×9.81

F = 33.26N

Then,

F = kx

k = F/x

k = 33.26/0.0208

k = 1598.84 N/m

The frequency is given as

f = ½π√k/m

Make m subject of formula

f² = ¼π² •(k/m

4π²f² = k/m

Then, m4π²f² = k

So, m = k/(4π²f²)

So, this is the general formula,

Then let use the frequency above

f = 3Hz

m = 1598.84/(4×π²×3²)

m = 4.5 kg
