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.

If a force of 50 Newton’s was applied to an object with a mass of 500 grams, what will the objects acceleration be?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:  100 m/s^2

F=ma

Explanation:

50N = 50 kg*m/s^2

500g = 0.5 kg

F=ma

a = F/m

a = (50 kg*m/s^2)/(0.5 kg)

a = 100 m/s^2

Which of these belongs to a tropic level with the most energy?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Berries is the correct answer because it is the produce in your pyramid and as each living thing is devoured by another there is less energy. For instance the berry has the most energy because it’s energy has just come from the sun. But then an insect eats it and consumes most of its energy but some energy is released into the atmosphere. Then a rodent eats the bug and consumes its energy but yet again some energy is released into the atmosphere. So each time there is less and less energy. Does that help any?

Explanation:

it’s energy has just come from the sun. But then an insect eats it and consumes most of its energy but some energy is released into the atmosphere.

avanturin [10]

Let us say that Cp is the specific heat of the metal object. Then we do a heat balance (heat lost by metal = heat gained by water):

- 19g * Cp * (22degC – 96degC) = 75g * 4.184J/g degC * (22degC – 18degC)

<span>Cp = 0.893 J/g degC</span>
