An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. the astronaut throws a rock straight up wit

h a velocity of +16 m/s and measures a time of 21.2 s before the rock returns to his hand. what is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (indicate direction by the sign of the acceleration.)

Define
u = 16 m/s, the vertical launch velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity, measured positive downward
s = vertical distance traveled
t  = 21.2 s, total time of travel.

The vertical motion obeys the equation
s = ut - (1/2)gt²

When the rock is at ground level, s = 0.
Therefore
(16 m/s)(21.2 s) - 0.5*(g m/s²)*(21.2 s)² = 0
339.2 - 224.72g = 0
g = 1.5094 m/s²

Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity is 1.509 m/s² measured positive downward.

Once ignited, a small rocket motor on a spacecraft exerts a constant force of 10 N for 7.80s. During the burn the rocket causes
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a = 0.01 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which says that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = forces = 10 [N]

m = mass = 100 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

10 = 100*a

a = 0.01 [m/s²]

Will pushing on a car always change the car's mechanical energy?
tamaranim1 [39]

I assume you mean that the car's motor is not running ... the car is just
sitting there.

If that's so, then the car's mechanical energy is just like the mechanical
energy of any other object.  It has potential energy if it's in a high place
from which it can roll or fall, and it has kinetic energy if it's moving.

-- If you make the car move by pushing it, then you gave it kinetic energy
that it didn't have while it was just sitting there.

-- If it's already moving slowly, and you're able to make it move faster by
pushing, then you increased its kinetic energy.

-- If you're able to push it up a hill, no matter how small the hill is but just
to any higher place, then you gave it more gravitational potential energy
than it had before you came along.

In all of these cases, if you exert a force and keep exerting it through some
distance while the car moves, then you have done "work", which is just
another name for mechanical energy, and your work adds to the mechanical
energy of the car.

But if you didn't move the car, then no matter how hard you pushed, no work
was done, and the car's mechanical energy didn't change.

Chocolate milk contains more than one type of component. Therefore, it 1 point
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Homogeneous.

Explanation:

Mixture can be defined as a combination of two or more substances present in varied proportion where each materials are distinct and visibly seen by naked eyes.

In Science, there are two (2) main types of mixture and these are;

I. A homogeneous mixture: it can be defined as any liquid, solid or gaseous mixture which has an identical or uniform composition and properties throughout any given sample of the mixture. In Chemistry, all solutions are considered to be a homogeneous mixture. For example, aqueous hydrogen chloride is a homogeneous mixture of water and hydrogen chloride.

II. A heterogenous mixture: it can be defined as any mixture which has a different or non-uniform composition and properties throughout any given sample of the mixture. This ultimately implies that, the constituents of a heterogenous mixture always remain separate in the sample and as such comprises of two or more phases.

Since the chocolate milk contains more than one type of component. Therefore, it is not a homogeneous substance but a heterogenous substance.
