magine an astronaut on an extrasolar planet, standing on a sheer cliff 50.0 m high. She is so happy to be on a different planet,

she throws a rock straight upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. If the astronaut were instead on Earth, and threw a ball in the same way while standing on a 50.0 m high cliff, what would be the time difference (in s) for the rock to hit the ground below the cliff in each case

Answer:

\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}  }  )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g}  }  )

Explanation:

Given:

height above which the rock is thrown up, \Delta h=50\ m

initial velocity of projection, u=20\ m.s^{-1}

let the gravity on the other planet be g'

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the exoplanet:

v=u+g'.t'

where:

v= final velocity at the top height = 0 m.s^{-1}

0=20-g'.t' (-ve sign to indicate that acceleration acts opposite to the velocity)

t'=\frac{20}{g'}\ s

The time taken by the rock to reach the top height on the earth:

v=u+g.t

0=20-g.t

t=\frac{20}{g} \ s

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the exoplanet:

v^2=u^2+2g'.h'

where:

v= final velocity at the top height = 0 m.s^{-1}

0^2=20^2-2\times g'.h'

h'=\frac{200}{g'}\ m

Height reached by the rock above the point of throwing on the earth:

v^2=u^2+2g.h

0^2=20^2-2g.h

h=\frac{200}{g}\ m

The time taken by the rock to fall from the highest point to the ground on the exoplanet:

(50+h')=u.t_f'+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2 (during falling it falls below the cliff)

here:

u= initial velocity= 0 m.s^{-1}

\frac{200}{g'}+50 =0+\frac{1}{2} g'.t_f'^2

t_f'^2=\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}

t_f'=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}  }

Similarly on earth:

t_f=\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g}  }

Now the required time difference:

\Delta t=(t'+t_f')-(t+t_f)

\Delta t=(\frac{20}{g'}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g'^2}+\frac{100}{g'}  }  )-(\frac{20}{g}+\sqrt{\frac{400}{g^2}+\frac{100}{g}  }  )

A firefighter of mass 81 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s
natima [27]

Answer:

The force of friction that acts on him is

F_k=567N

Explanation:

The firefighter with an acceleration of 3m/s^2 take the gravity acceleration as 10m/s^2 isn't necessary to know the coefficient of friction just to know the force of friction:

F=m*a

F=F_w-F_k

m*a=F_w-F_k

F_w=81kg*10m/s^2=810N

Sole to Fk

81kg*3m/s^2=810N-F_k

F_k=810N-243N

F_k=567N

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}

= 1,875 N

The forces exerted on an object are shown. (3 points)
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

<em>F equals 3 N and the object remains stationary</em>. (second option in the list)

Explanation:

For sure to cancel acting forces, F must be 3N pointing up. But with regards to the object stationary or not, the question is tricky. We could have a ZERO net force applied, and the object moving at constant speed, which could still verify Newton's Laws. But considering the first answer option that refers to vertical motion upward where the object could be gaining potential energy, the most accurate response is that the force F has to be 3 N pointing up to make the object in equilibrium, and no motion in the vertical axis.

A positively charged particle initially at rest on the ground accelerated upward to 100m/s in 2.00s. If the particle has a charg
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The initial velocity is  u  =  100 m/s

       The time taken is  t = 2.0 s

       The charge to mass ratio is  Q/m  =  0.100 C/kg

       

Generally the acceleration is mathematically evaluated as

              a  =   \frac{u}{t }

substituting values  

               a =   \frac{100}{2}

                a =  50 \ m/s^2

The electric field is mathematical represented as

             E = \frac{(a+g)}{Q/m}

substituting values

              E = \frac{(50+9.8)}{0.100}

              E = 598 \ N/C
