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

If eight water waves pass an ocean buoy each minute, and successive wave crests are 20 m apart, find the wave speed:____________
Llana [10]

Answer:

The wave speed is calculated below:

Explanation:

Given,

number of waves passed per minute = 8

time period = 1 minute = 60 s

distance between successive wave crests = 20 m

waves passing interval per second = \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

Now,

wave speed = 20 m × \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

                     = \frac{8}3} m/s

                     = 2.67 m/s

Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.

How does being on the moon effect gravitational field strength
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Your being on the moon has no effect on the moon's
gravitational field strength, or on the Earth's for that
matter.

However, YOU notice a change on YOU when YOU move
from one to the other, because of the effect of the gravitational
field strength on you and your internal organs.

If you could stand on the moon, you would experience an incredible
sense of lightness, since the forces of attraction between the moon
and anything else are only 16% as great as the same forces are on
Earth.

Which statement describes how work and power are similar?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

C: You must know force and distance to calculate both.

Explanation:

A force is said to have done work, when it has succeeded in causing displacement in an object from its starting point.

Power can be defined as the rate of doing work.

The work can be calculated using the following formula:

Work done = Force × Displacement

The power can be calculated using the following formula:

Power = Work \ Time

In order to calculate the work and power, the force and distance should be known. The force and distance will help in the calculating the work, which will in turn help in the calculation of the power of the object.

Hence, the answer is you must know force and distance to calculate both.
