An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet XX. The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s, as shown in

the figure. The rock reaches the ground 10s after it is thrown. The atmosphere of Planet XX has a negligible effect on the rock when it is in free fall. Determine the acceleration due to gravity of the rock when it is on Planet XX.

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion to get the acceleration due to gravoty of the rock on the planet.

S = ut+ 1/2at² where;

S is the distance of the rock above the surface of the planet = 100m

u is the initial velocity = 15m/s

a is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken by the rock to reach the ground = 10s

Since the rock is thrown upward the acceleration due to gravity will be negative i.e a= -g

The equation becomes S = ut- 1/2gt²

Substituting the given value to get the time t

100 = 15(10)- 1/2g(10)²

100 = 150-50g

100-150 = -50g

-50 = -50g

g = -50/-50

g = 1m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration due to gravity of the rock when it is on Planet XX is 1m/s²</em>

The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile such as a bullet. The projectile of mass m is fired
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Relation between initial speed of bullet and height h is given as

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

Explanation:

As we know that system of block and bullet swings up to height h after collision

So we have

(m + M)gh = \frac{1}{2}(m + M)v_1^2

so we have

v_1 = \sqrt{2gh}

so speed of the block + bullet just after the impact is given by above equation

Now we also know that there is no force on the system of bullet + block in the direction of motion

So we can use momentum conservation

mv = (m + M)v_1

now we have

v = \frac{m + M}{m}\sqrt{2gh}

A 2100 g block is pushed by an external force against a spring (with a 22 N/cm spring constant) until the spring is compressed b
Vilka [71]

Answer:

6.5e-4 m

Explanation:

We need to solve this question using law of conservation of energy

Energy at the bottom of the incline= energy at the point where the block will stop

Therefore, Energy at the bottom of the incline consists of the potential energy stored in spring and gravitational potential energy=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} +PE1

Energy at the point where the block will stop consists of only gravitational potential energy=PE2

Hence from Energy at the bottom of the incline= energy at the point where the block will stop

⇒\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} +PE1=PE2

⇒PE2-PE1=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Also PE2-PE2=mgh

where m is the mass of block

g is acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s

h is the difference in height between two positions

⇒mgh=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Given m=2100kg

k=22N/cm=2200N/m

x=11cm=0.11 m

∴2100*9.8*h=\frac{1}{2}*2200*0.11^{2}

⇒20580*h=13.31

⇒h=\frac{13.31}{20580}

⇒h=0.0006467m=6.5e-4

What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley system​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Pulleys accomplish 2 separate operations throughout the computer controlled additional benefit technologies listed elsewhere here.

Explanation:

  • If indeed the pulley would be connected to that same attachment point, these are named a corrected pendulum or perhaps a change in direction. Its job should be to reverse the trajectory of that same rope pull.  
  • Unless the pulley would be connected to that same load, this same pulley seems to be a detachable as well as a mechanical additional benefit.
