Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it
Orlov [11]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

F= ma (\rightarrow Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

F_b = ma

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

F_b = \rho V g

F_b = 1.2*323*9.8

F_b = 3798.5

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

F_{net} = F_b -W

F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)

F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)

F_{net} = 1030N

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

F_{net} = m' g

m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}

m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}

m' = 105Kg

In recent years, astronomers have found planets orbiting nearby stars that are quite different from planets in our solar system.
Marizza181 [45]

3.86 m/s^2  is the value of gravity  on this large, but low-density, world.

given :

Kepler-12b

diameter= 1.7 times of Jupiter (R_Jupiter = 6.99 × 10^7 m),

mass = 0.43  Jupiter (M_Jupiter = 1.90 × 10^27 kg ).

g = GM/r^2

g = 6.67×10^-11 × 0.43×1.9×10^27/( 1.7×6.99×10^7)^2

g = 3.859 ~ 3.86 m/s^2

Gravity, also referred to as gravitation, is the unchanging force of attraction that binds all matter together in mechanics. It is by far the weakest known force in nature, so it has no effect on determining the internal properties of common matter.

On Earth, everything has weight, or a gravitational pull that is imposed by the planet's mass and proportional to the object's mass. A measure of the force of gravity is the acceleration that freely falling objects experience. At the surface of the Earth, gravity accelerates at a rate of about 9.8 meters per second. As a result, an object's speed increases during free fall by about 9.8 meters per second. At the Moon's surface, a freely falling body accelerates to about 1.6 m/s2.

Dependent variable and the independent variable is ?
koban [17]

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable. An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific

CP Bang! A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

 h = v₀ g / a

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the kinematic equations. As they indicate that the air does not influence the vertical movement, we can find the time it takes for the body to reach the floor

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The vertical start speed is zero

            t² = 2t / g

The horizontal document has an acceleration, with direction opposite to the speed therefore it is negative, the expression is

            x = v₀ₓ t - ½ a t²

Indicates that it reaches the same exit point x = 0

           v₀ₓ t = ½ a t2

           v₀ₓ = ½ a (2h / g)

           v₀ₓ = v₀

           h = v₀ g / a

A 0.56 kg model rocket produces 53 newtons of upward thrust as it shoots upward off the launch pad. With what acceleration meter
Yanka [14]

resultant force = thrust – weight

acceleration = resultant force (newtons, N) divided by mass (kilograms, kg).

Acceleration = resultant force divided by mass

53N/0.56

=94.64 approximately 95

= 95m/s^2

This means that, every second, the speed of the rocket increases by 95m/s2

the S.I unit of Acceleration is meter per second square.
