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

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

Can someone help me with this Physics question please?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years
