Dump Tower is 96 stories tall. A small, 1.2-kg object is dropped over the side of the roof of the tower and accelerates toward t

he ground. The mass of the planet housing Dump Tower is 2.7 times the mass of Ganymede and the radius of the body is 1.7 times the radius of Makemake. You will track the object for its entire fall. Each story of this tower is 3.05 meters tall.
How many seconds will it take the object to reach the ground and what will be its impact speed with the ground?

Answer:

6.0 s

98 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the planet is much bigger than the height of the tower, so we will assume the acceleration is constant.  Neglect air resistance.

Acceleration due to gravity on this planet is:

a = GM / r²

a = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (2.7 × 1.48×10²³ kg) / (1.7 × 750,000 m)²

a = 16.4 m/s²

The height of the tower is:

Δy = 96 × 3.05 m

Δy = 293 m

Given v₀ = 0 m/s, find t and v.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(293 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (16.4 m/s²) t²

t = 6.0 s

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (16.4 m/s²) (293 m)

v = 98 m/s

Answer:

 i = 0.477 10⁴ B

the current flows in the  counterclockwise

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the Ampere law

                    ∫ B . ds = μ₀ I

Where the path is closed

Let's start by locating the current vines that are parallel to the z-axis, so it must be exterminated along the x-axis and as the specific direction is not indicated, suppose it extends along the y-axis.

From BiotSavart's law, the field must be perpendicular to the direction of the current, so the magnetic field must go in the x direction.

We apply the law of Ampere the segment parallel to the x-axis is the one that contributes to the integral, since the other two have an angle of 90º with the magnetic field

Segment on the y axis

        L₀ = (y2-y1)

        L₀ = 3-0 = 3 cm

Segment on the point x = 2 cm

        L₁ = 3-0

        L₁ = 3cm

       B L = μ₀ I

       B 2L = μ₀ I

        i = 2 L B /μ₀

        i= 2 0.03 / 4π 10⁻⁷   B

        i = 4.77 10⁴  B

The current is perpendicular to the magnetic field whereby the current flows in the  counterclockwise
