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.

Does the response of the light bulb depend on how fast you move the bar magnet? if so, how?
Illusion [34]

Yes , the response of the light bulb depend on how fast you move the bar magnet

Flux is the presence of a force field in a specified physical medium, or the flow of energy through a surface

Lenz's law states that the induced electromotive force with different polarities induces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop in order to ensure that the original flux is maintained through the loop when current flows in it.

Yes, waving a magnet around does create an electromagnetic wave which does affect the light bulb .

Due to motion of the bar, there will be a constant change in flux and due to  Lenz's Law a current within the coil will be induced . This induced current can be used to power the light bulb.

As we know that the greater the speed, the greater the magnitude of the current, and the current is zero when there is no motion.

There will be change in brightness as the bar moves with faster speed.

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.
