44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down

to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.40 m/s and observes that it takes 1.8 s to reach the water. (a) List the knowns in this problem. (b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m

The force of gravity on a 1 kg object on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 N. For the same object in low-earth orbit arou
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

 g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

 g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}

        g = 8.61 m/s²
