Natalija [7]

Answer:

more time to change the momentum of falling rocks

Explanation:

Momentum is related to "mass in motion." So, if an object is moving, then it has momentum as it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum is dependent upon how much and how fast the object is moving.

If an object is moving slowly, it means that the object is losing momentum.

Nets used to catch falling boulders on the side of rocky hillside roadways are more effective than rigid fences because their breakage is reduced by more time to change the momentum of falling rocks.

An astronaut holds a rock 100 m above surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upwards with a sleek of 15m/s. The rock reach

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: $5 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

This problem is related to vertical motion, and the equation that models it is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0m$ is the rock's final height

$y_{o}=100 m$ is the rock's initial height

$V_{o}=15 m/s$ is the rock's initial velocity

$\theta=90\°$ is the angle at which the rock was thrown (directly upwards)

$t=10 s$ is the time

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

Isolating $g$ and taking into account $sin(90\°)=1$ :

$g=(-\frac{2}{t^{2}})(y-y_{o}-V_{o}t)$ (2)

$g=(-\frac{2}{(10 s)^{2}})(0 m-100 m-(15 m/s)(10 s))$ (3)

$g=5 m/s^{2}$ (4) This is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: We can calculate it with the radioactive half life equation

Explanation:

If we already know the initial amount of radioactive material and its half life, we can leave that material for a specific known time and then measure how much of the material is left (since it follows the radioactive deacay) and use the results in the following formula:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}}$
