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>

A ball is kicked at an angle of 35° with the ground.a) What should be the initial velocity of the ball so that it hits a target
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

a.18.5 m/s

b.1.98 s

Explanation:

We are given that

\theta=35^{\circ}

a.Let v_0 be the initial velocity of the ball.

Distance,x=30 m

Height,h=1.8 m

v_x=v_0cos\theta=v_0cos35

v_y=v_0sin\theta=v_0sin35

x=v_0cos\theta\times t=v_0cos35\times t

t=\frac{30}{v_0cos35}

h=v_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substitute the values

1.8=v_0sin35\frac{30}{v_0cos35}-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(\frac{30}{v_0cso35})^2

1.8=30tan35-\frac{6574.6}{v^2_0}

\frac{6574.6}{v^2_0}=21-1.8=19.2

v^2_0=\frac{6574.6}{19.2}

v_0=\sqrt{\frac{6574.6}{19.2}}=18.5 m/s

Initial velocity of the ball=18.5 m/s

b.Substitute the value then we get

t=\frac{30}{18.5cos35}

t=1.98 s

Hence, the time for the ball to reach the target=1.98 s

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Because a person may be pulled in the direction of the moving train. Thereby causing accident

Explanation:

According to Daniel Bernoulli's theorem, he was widely known as a Mathematician. He stated that due to the higher velocity of a moving train, there is higher kinetic energy in terms of volume around it, while the air pressure between the person and the train becomes lower.

As a result, a person near a moving train may be pulled in the direction of the moving train. Thereby causing accidents that may lead to death.

At which of the following angles will the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area?
AleksandrR [38]

The angle at which the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area is 10°. Last option is correct.

<h3>What is sunlight?</h3>

The light coming from the Sun reaching the Earth's surface is called as Sunlight.

When the sun is overhead, the intensity is high because sun's rays are perpendicular to the earth's surface, so the energy spreads over a small area and the heat is too high in that region.

When, the angle is smaller, the sunlight will spread out over a larger area.

Thus, at 10° the sunlight received at a location on Earth spread out over the largest area. Last option is correct.
