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

DEFINE UNIFORM AND NON UNIFORM VELOCITY
Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

Uniform velocity is when an object goes an equal amount of space in an equal amount of time whereas non uniform velocity is when the object covers an unequal amount of distance in an equal amount of time.

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Los 0.0416km

esto se debe a que transponemos la fórmula acelerada y obtenemos Distancia = velocidad × tiempo

también recuerda transponer los segundos a horas viendo que la velocidad es por hora

También tenga en cuenta que no hablo español, así que esto fue extremadamente difícil

Which division of time on the geologic time scale is the shortest?
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

In geology, there are 5 divisions of time on the time scale. They are:

  1. eons
  2. eras
  3. periods
  4. epochs
  5. ages

Eons are the largest time period, while ages are the shortest time period. The rest of the above listed are in between the two.
