Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance              =  (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

                                             = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

                                             =  (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

                                             =        44,222.5 meters  .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !

On a certain planet, which is perfectly spherically symmetric, the free-fall acceleration has magnitude g = go at the north pole
ohaa [14]
The reason why there is a difference between free-fall acceleration is a centrifugal force.
I attached a diagram that shows how this force aligns with the force of gravity.
From the diagram we can see that:
F=F_g-F_{cf}=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ ma=mg'-mw^2r'cos(\alpha)\\ a=g'-w^2rcos^2(\alpha)\\
Where g' is the free-fall acceleration when there is no centrifugal force, r is the radius of the planet, and w is angular frequency of planet's rotation. \alpha is the latitude.
We can calculate g' and wr^2 from the given conditions in the problem.
g(90)=g_0;\ g_0= g'-w^2rcos^2(90)\\
g_0=g'\\
g(0)=ag_0;\ ag_0=g_0-w^2rcos^2(0)\\
ag_0=g_0-w^2r\\
w^2r=g_0(a-1)

Our final equation is:
g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(\alpha)
Colatitude is:
\alpha_c=90^\circ-\alpha
The answer is:
g=g_0-g_0(a-1)cos^2(90-9)=g_0-g_0(a-1)sin^2(9)

An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free
Blababa [14]

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2
