A ball is dropped off a very tall canyon ledge. Gravity accelerates the ball at 9.8 m/s2. How fast is the ball traveling after 5

As ball is dropped, so its initial velocity (u) of the ball is = 0

Acceleration of the ball (a) is given to be 9.8 m/s^2

As acceleration is constant, so we can apply the equation of kinematics for constant acceleration i.e. v = u + at

where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and v is final velocity at after time t

so velocity after 5 sec will be = 0 +(9.8)5 = 49 m/s

Un the way to the moon, the Apollo astro-
kherson [118]

Answer:

Distance =  345719139.4[m]; acceleration = 3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2}  } \\

F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a}  }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2}  }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2}  }

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2}  } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m}  )^{2}  } = \frac{7.36*10^{22}  }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17}  \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c }  }{2*a}\\  where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) }  }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

<u>Second part</u>

<u />

The distance between the Earth and this point is calculated as follows:

re = 3.84 108 - 38280860.6 = 345719139.4[m]

Now the acceleration can be found as follows:

a = G*\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e} ^{2} } \\a = 6.67*10^{11} *\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(345.72*10^{6})^{2}  } \\a=3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

Brownian motion is the random movement of particles in a fluid due to their collisions with other atoms or molecules. ... Brownian motion takes its name from the Scottish botanist Robert Brown, who observed pollen grains moving randomly in water. He described the motion in 1827 but was unable to explain it.
