Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. you would like to find the acceleration due to the

gravitational force on this planet so you devise an experiment. you throw a rock up in the air with an initial velocity of 11 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. if it takes 7.0 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it was released, what is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?

Interesting ...

gravity can be considered as *constant* acceleration, then you have:

h = v0*t + 1/2*g*t^2,

Final height is the same as the initial = 0

0 = 11*7 +1/2*g*7^2 ---> g = -11*7*2/7^2 = -22/7 m/s^2

Minus because it goes down, You can say g_planet = 22/7 m/s^2 ~ 3.14 m/s^2. Earth's one on its surface is about 9.81 m/s^2, so this planet has 3 times less gravity. It may be 1/3 the radius of the Earth, assuming same density. This is not asked! :)

Answer: g = -3.143 m/s²

Explanation: To determine acceleration due to the gravitational force, it can be used the following formula:

v = v₀ + gt, where:

v₀ is the initial velocity;

g is acceleration due to gravity

t is the time to return to the point of origin

When the rock return to the point of origin, there is no velocity, so v = 0.

The time to go up is the same to go down, so t = \frac{t}{2} = \frac{7}{2}.

Substituing in the formula:

v = v₀ + gt

0 = 11 + g.\frac{7}{2}

g = \frac{(0 - 11).2}{7}

g = - 3.143

The acceleration due to the gravitational force is g = - 3.143 m/s².

Which gland controls the workings of other endocrine glands? Thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, or thymus
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer is pituitary gland.


In order to stimulate or inhibit the hormones produced by the endocrine glands, signals are sent to these endocrine glands by the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.

Consider the following example. When a person is stressed in order to stimulate the production of cortisol, the anterior pituitary lobe will release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

A parachutist falls 50.0 m without friction. When the parachute opens, he slows down at a rate of 67 m/s*2. If he reaches the gr
KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at

Since the height are equal

\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0

t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²
