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

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately 4.61\times 10^{3}\; {\rm N} upwards (assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}.)

Explanation:

External forces on this astronaut:

  • Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
  • Normal force from the floor (upwards.)

Let (\text{normal force}) denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:

\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be (\text{weight}) = m\, g.

Let a denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be (\text{net force}) = m\, a.

Rearrange \begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned} to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:

\begin{aligned}(\text{normal force}) &= (\text{net force}) + (\text{weight}) \\ &= m\, a + m\, g \\ &= m\, (a + g) \\ &= 80.9\; {\rm kg} \times (47.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} + 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) \\ &\approx 4.61 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

QveST [7]

We have thatThe options that define Speed, Velocity,Acceleration.

  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving.
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.

Options

B,D,E

From the question we are told

Choose the correct definitions of speed, velocity, and acceleration. Check all that apply.

  • Acceleration tells us in which direction the object is going. Speed is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe changes in the movement direction of the object. Acceleration tells us how far the object will go in a certain amount of time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.
  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving.
  • Velocity is the rate of change of speed in time.

Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.

Generally

  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.
  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving without its direction in consideration

Hence

The options that define Speed, Velocity,Acceleration.

  • Speed is used to describe how fast the object is moving.
  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in time.
  • Velocity is used to describe how fast the object is moving and tells us in which direction it is going.

Options

B,D,E
