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>

If all of the forces acting on an object are balanced, then:
kondaur [170]

A. the direction the object is moving in will not change.

B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by using Newton's second law of motion:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, all the forces acting on the object are balanced, therefore the net force is zero:

\sum F=0

which means that also the acceleration is zero:

a=0

Acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity: therefore, zero acceleration means that the velocity of the object does not change. We can now analyze the given statements:

A. the direction the object is moving in will not change.  --> TRUE, because the velocity is not changing.

B. the acceleration of the object will be 0 m/s2  --> TRUE, as we stated above

c. the object will not be in motion.  --> FALSE: we just know that its velocity is constant, but it can be different from zero

D. the velocity of the object will be 0 m/s. --> FALSE, for the same reason stated in C

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

n=6.56×10¹⁵Hz

Explanation:

Given Data

Mass=9.1×10⁻³¹ kg

Radius distance=5.3×10⁻¹¹m

Electric Force=8.2×10⁻⁸N

To find

Revolutions per second

Solution

Let F be the force of attraction

let n  be the number of revolutions per sec made by the electron around the nucleus then the centripetal force is given by

F=mω²r......................where ω=2π  n

F=m4π²n²r...............eq(i)

as the values given where

Mass=9.1×10⁻³¹ kg

Radius distance=5.3×10⁻¹¹m

Electric Force=8.2×10⁻⁸N

we have to find n from eq(i)

n²=F/(m4π²r)

n^{2} =\frac{8.2*10^{-8} }{9.11*10^{-31}* 4\pi^{2} *5.3*10^{-11}  }\\ n^{2}=4.31*10^{31}\\ n=\sqrt{4.31*10^{31}}\\ n=6.56*10^{15}Hz

Block A, with a mass of 4.0 kg, is moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s while block B , with a mass of 8.0 kg, is moving in the opposi
Anon25 [30]
Consider velocity to the right as positive.

First mass:
m₁ = 4.0 kg
v₁ = 2.0 m/s to the right

Second mass:
m₂ = 8.0 kg
v₂ = -3.0 m/s to the left

Total momentum of the system is
P = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
   = 4*2 + 8*(-3)
  = -16 (kg-m)/s

Let v (m/s) be the velocity of the center of mass of the 2-block system.

Because momentum of the system is preserved, therefore
(m₁+m₂)v= -16
(4+8 kg)*(v m/s) = -16 (kg-m)/s
v = -1.333 m/s

Answer:
The center of mass is moving at 1.33 m/s to the left.

A sinusoidal wave has the following wave function: y(x,t) = (2.5 m) sin((3.0 m ) x - (24 s-')t + Tt/2] What is the frequency of
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Frequency of the wave is 3.8 hertz.

Explanation:

It is given that, the sinusoidal wave has following wave equation as :

y(x,t)=(2.5\ m)sin[(3\ m^{-1})x-(24\ s^{-1})t+\pi/2]

The general equation for the sinusoidal wave is :

y=A\ sin(kx-\omega t+\phi)

Where

A is the amplitude

k is the constant

\omega is the angular frequency

\phi is the phase difference

Since, \omega=24\ s^{-1}

2\pi f=24

f=\dfrac{24}{2\pi}=3.81\ Hz

or

f = 3.8 Hz

So, the frequency of the wave is 3.8 hertz. Hence, this is the required solution.
