Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the

gravitational force on this planet so you devise an experiment. You throw a rock up in the air with an initial velocity of 9 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. If it takes 6.4 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it was released, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?

Answer:

<h3> 1.40625m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion expressed as v = u+gt where;

v is the  final velocity of the ball

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given

u = 9m/s

v = 0m/s

t = 6.4s

Required

acceleration due to gravity g

Since the rock is thrown up, g will be a negative value.

v = u+(-g)t

0 = 9-6.4g

-9 = -6.4g

6.4g = 9

divide both sides by 6.4

6.4g/6.4 = 9/6.4

g = 1.40625m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is  1.40625m/s²

When two sticks are laid end-to-end they cover a length of 8.32 feet. One stick is 2.93 ft longer than the other. What is the le
77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

x+2.93

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

x +(x+2.97) = 8.32

Now solving for x we have,

x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32

2x + 2.93 = 8.32

2x = 8.32 - 2.93

x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}

x = 2.695 ft

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.

Identifying What are five things
g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Naturally occuring

2. Solid

3. Inorganic

4. Crystalline

5. Specific Chemical Compostion

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic, crystalline solids that occur during biogeochemical processes in nature like in cooled lava or evaporated sea water. Minerals are not rocks, but are actually the components that make up rocks. Though they vary in color and shape, each mineral has a distinct chemical composition.

1. Minerals are formed by natural geological processes. Most minerals form from molten lava, sea evaporation or hot liquids in caves or cracks. Laboratory-generated minerals like synthetic gems made for commercial purposes are not considered actual minerals.

2. Though minerals vary in shape, color, luster (the way a mineral reflects light) and hardness, all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state, it is not currently a mineral. For example, ice is a mineral, but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale, rates a minerals hardness from one to 10, 10 being the hardest. Diamond is the hardest mineral. Talc is a very soft mineral with a Mohr rating of one.

3. Minerals are wholly inanimate, inorganic compounds. But there are exceptions to this qualifier. There are rare organic substances with definitive chemical compositions that are labeled as “organic minerals." The most famous of this oxymoronic exception is whewellite. Whewellite is a component of kidney stones and coal deposits.

4. Most minerals will grow into a crystal shape, space permitting. Mineral deposits are often small because there is usually a variety of minerals in the same vicinity competing for the same room to grow. A mineral’s crystalline structure determines its hardness, cleavage (how it breaks) and color. There are six different crystal shapes: cubic, tetragonal, orthohombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic.

5. A mineral is defined by its chemical composition. A rock, on the other hand, does not have a specific chemical composition because it is a composite of a variety of minerals. Minerals are classified based on their anionic group. The major mineral groups are native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides and hydroxides, halides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Silica is abundant in the Earth’s crust, so silicates are the most common group of mineral.

What was the result of the Mexican army's victory over the Texan garrison at the Alamo?
sasho [114]

The result of the Mexican victory was that fallen defenders became heroes to the cause of Texan independence.<span> The Battle of the Alamo took place between February 23 and March 6, 1836 and became the central episode of the Texas Revolution . After this thirteen-day battle, the Mexican troops of General President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began an attack on San Antonio de Bexar, the current San Antonio in Texas. The Battle of the Alamo fought the army of Mexico against a group of Texan rebels, mostly American settlers. More than four thousand men from Santa Ana stood in front of the Alamo Fort , the last stronghold of the rebels, which barely reached 187. The Alamo was not a fortress prepared to withstand a siege. It is believed that all the rebels of the Alamo died in the siege, but Santa Anna came to lose up to about 900 men during the days that lasted the fight. However, the worst result for Santa Ana was precisely the resistance that the Texan rebels had in the Alamo, which fostered the fighting spirit of the Texans. A few days later, on March 14, 1836, Texas became independent from Mexico and a month later, Santa Ana was imprisoned.</span>
