Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = 8.0 seconds .

Note:

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter. After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

if 130N centripetal force is needed to keep a 0.45kg ball that is attached to a string that is 0.7m long to complete 5 full rota

andrezito [222]

Answer:

centripetal acceleration of the ball is 6.9 m/s/s

tangential speed of the ball is 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that ball complete 5 rotations in 10 seconds

so frequency of rotation of ball is given as

$f = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 Hz$

now we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2(\pi)(0.5)$

$\omega = \pi rad/s$

Now centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

$a_c = \pi^2 (0.7)$

$a_c = 6.9 m/s^2$

now the velocity of the ball at this angular frequency is given as

$v = R\omega$

$v = 0.7 (\pi)$

$v = 2.2 m/s$

How much weight can a man lift in the jupiter if he can lift 100kg on the earth.calculate

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<h3>2479 Newton</h3>

Solution,

Mass=100 kg

Acceleration due to gravity(g)=24.79 m/s^2

Now,.

 $weight = m \times g \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 100 \times 24.79 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2479 \: newton$ 

hope this helps ..

Good luck on your assignment..
