Can someone please help

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration of that planet is 30 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$.

Given:

initial speed of hammer = 0 $\frac{m}{s}$

time = 1 s

distance = 15 m

To find:

Acceleration due to gravity = ?

Formula used:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + $\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

Solution:

Distance covered by hammer is given by,

s = ut + $\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$

s = distance

u = initial speed of hammer

t = time taken by hammer to reach ground

a = acceleration

u = 0

t = 1 s

s = 15 m

a = g

Thus substituting these value in above equation.

15 = 0 + $\frac{1}{2} g 1^{2}$

g = 15 × 2

g = 30 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Thus, acceleration of that planet is 30 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$.
