One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given dista

nce. A lander vehicle on a distant planet records the fact that it takes 3.58 s for a ball to fall freely 12.02 m, starting from rest.

Answer:

(a) 0.94 m/s²

(b) g (planet) = 0.096g

Explanation:

(a)

From Newton's equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... equation 1

Making g the subject of equation 1

g =( S - ut)/t² ........................ equation 2

Where  s = distance ( m), u = initial velocity (m/s), t = time (s), g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

From the question, S = 12.02 m, t = 3.58 s, u= 0 ( at rest),

Substituting these values in equation 2

g = {12.02 -(0×3.58)}/3.58²

g = (12.02)/12.82

g = 0.94 m/s²

∴ The acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 0.94 m/s²

(b) g (planet)/g (earth) = 0.94/9.80

     g (planet) = 0.096 g (earth).

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet in terms of the earth g  is

g (planet) = 0.096g

The velocity of a passenger relative to a boat is -vpb. The velocity of the boat relative to the river it is moving on is vbr. T
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

What can you use to determine whether the SATA port no which you are connecting the drive will also run at 6.0Gbps?
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The answer is "use manual motherboard".

Explanation:

The motherboard is also known as the mainboard, it an electronic circuit board, that can connect with the CPU, RAM, and other networking equipment parts. It is also is known as a chipset, that differ widely in style, context, power source, height and performance (Form Factor).

All the data of the computer is stored memory, which checks into the motherboard, that the SATA port which you are connected to is still going to run at 6.0Gbps or not.
