Answer:

A. The time it takes the projectile to reach the top of its path is about 1 second.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the velocity of a projectile fired straight up is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

v = velocity of the projectile.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (≅ -9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

t = time.

When the projectile reaches the top of its path, its velocity is zero, then, using the equation of velocity, we can solve it for the time:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 10 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

t = -10 m/s / -9.8 m/s²

t = 1.0 s

The time it takes the projectile to reach the top of its path is about 1 second.

Help plz I don't understand

Airplane start with initial speed

$v_i = 0$

now the takeoff velocity is given as

$v_f = 300 km/h$

$v_f = 83.33 m/s$

acceelration is given as

$a = 1 m/s^2$

now we have

$v_f - v_i = at$

from above equation we have

$83.33 - 0 = 1(t)$

$t = 83.33 s$

$v_i = 0$

now the takeoff velocity is given as

$v_f = 300 km/h$

$v_f = 83.33 m/s$

acceelration is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

now we have

$v_f - v_i = at$

from above equation we have

$83.33 - 0 = 2(t)$

$t = 41.7 s$

A planet's moon travels in an approximately circular orbit of radius 8.6 107 m with a period of 6 h 25 min. Calculate the mass o

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

m v^2 / R = G M m / R^2 gravitational attraction = centripetal force

M = v^2 R / G solving for M

period = 6 h 25 min = (6 * 3600 + 25 * 60) sec = 23,100 sec = T

v = 2 pi R / T

M = 4 pi^2 R^3 / (G T^2)

M = 39.5 * (8.6E7)^3 / (6.67E-11 * 2.31E4^2)

M = 39.5 * 636 / (6.67 * 5.34) * 10^24

M = 7.05 * 10^26 kg
