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.

A baseball has a mass of 145 g. A bat exerts a force of 18,400 N on the ball. What is the acceleration of the ball?
amid [387]

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.300 m can generate a magnetic field of 8.90 T in its core
Ivan

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 22366.

Explanation:

The number of turns in the solenoid can be found using the following equation:

B = \mu_{0} I\frac{N}{L}

Where:

B: is the magnetic field = 8.90 T

L: is the solenoid's length = 0.300 m

N: is the number of turns =?

I: is the current = 95 A

μ₀: is the magnetic constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

By solving equation (1) for N we have:

N = \frac{BL}{\mu_{0} I} = \frac{8.90 T*0.300 m}{4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m*95 A} = 22366 turns

Therefore, the number of turns in the solenoid is 22366.

I hope it helps you!

The average specific heat of the human body is 3.6 kJ/kg·°C. If the body temperature of a(n) 96-kg man rises from 37°C to 39°C d
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

691200 J

Explanation:

From specific heat capacity,

ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1

Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.

Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔQ = 3600×96×2

ΔQ = 691200 J.

Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J
