One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given dista

nce. A lander vehicle on a distant planet records the fact that it takes 3.17 s for a ball to fall freely 11.26 m, starting from rest.
a. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?
b. How fast is the ball moving just as it lands in m/s?

Answer:

a)a=2.24m/s^{2}

b)v(t)=7.1m/s

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equations:

v(t)=v_{o}+g*t=g*t   starting from rest

y(t)=v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}=1/2*a*t^{2

a=2*y/t^{2}=2*11.26/3.17^{2}=2.24m/s^{2}

We find now the speed

v(t)=a*t=2.24*3.17=7.1m/s

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds, what is the baseball’s velocity?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

33.33 m/sec

Explanation:

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds,

what is the baseball’s velocity?

use the formula: velocity = distance over time

where (d) distance = 200 m

and (t) time = 6 sec.

plugin values into the formula:

v = d / t

  = 200 m / 6 sec

  = 33.33 m/sec.

therefore, the baseball's velocity is 33.33 m/sec

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s

the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0

The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

During upward motion, gravity is negative

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² -  2gh

0 = u² -  2gh

2gh = u²

h = u² / 2g

h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)

h = 16.35 m

Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.
