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 movement of protons through atp synthase occurs from the
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

cytoplasm and channel gates

Explanation:

The movement originates from the cytoplasm. This is the fluid medium through which ions are shuttle from one place to another. However, though simple as it might appear to be, the movement requires carrier proteins. The are proteins that facilitate in the movement of the ions. These proteins have specially controlled gates called channel proteins. These are regulated proteins that open and close based on hydrogen ion concentration. These proteins are able to facilitate the movement of ATP molecules.

Heartburn is a form of indigestion felt as a burning sensation in the chest when stomach acid comes back up into the esophagus.
xenn [34]
The antacid is basic so it neutralizes acidity or lowers it. Then if it goes into the esophagus, it's not as strong and it doesn't hurt, and it also calms your stomach because the acidity in your stomach is also lower. Antacids are therefore taken by many people, especially as they grow older and things like heartburn become more common.

<h3>What is Quadratic equation ?</h3>

A quadratic equation as an equation of degree 2, meaning that the highest exponent of this function is 2. The standard form of a quadratic equation is y = ax^{2} + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers and a cannot be 0

P(A) = 0.006 a^{2} - 0.02a + 120

123 = 0.006- 0.02a + 120

0=0.006 a^{2} - 0.02a - 3

you can use the quadratic equation  formula to solve for the man's age.

A = (-b ± (\sqrt{b^{2} - 4*a*c})  ) / (2a)

A = (0.02 ±  \sqrt{(-0.02)^{2} - 4*0.006*(-3)}/ (2*0.006)

A = (0.02 ± \sqrt{0.0076}) / 0.012

A = 9 , -5.67

Age of the man will be 9 years

How much thermal energy is required to raise the temperature of 5 kg of water 50℃? The specific heat of water is 4168 J/kg*C.
sasho [114]

Answer/solution:

Given :

Mass =5kg

T 1 =20 C,T 2  =100 ∘C

ΔT=100−20=80 ∘C

Q=m×C×ΔT

where C= specific heat capacity of water

=4200J/(kgK)

Q=5×4200×80

=1680000 Joule.

=1680KJ
