You have just landed on Planet X. You release a 100-g ball from rest from a height of 10.0 m and measure that it takes 3.40 s to

reach the ground. Ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. How much does the 100-g ball weigh on the surface of Planet X?

Answer:

w = 0.173 N

Explanation:

The weigh of any object is computed by multiplying its mass to the acceleration of gravity, so we need to find the gravity on that planet in order to compute the weigh we want.

The ball has a mass of 0.1 kg and its released from a height of 10 m, therefore it is in a free fall motion with gravity acting as a constant acceleration on the body, we can use the equations for free fall movement in order to determine the value for this acceleration:

y(t) = v_0 * t + y_0 - 0.5 * g * t^2

y(t) is the position in the end of the movement, when t = 3.4 s, so y(t) = 0 m.

v_0 is the initial velocity, in this case v_0 = 0 m/s.

y_0 is the initial position of the ball, in this case it is 10 m.

g is the gravity that we want to know.

Applying these values in the equation we have:

0 = 0*(3.4) + 10 - 0.5*g*(3.4)^2

0 = 10 - 0.5*11.56*g

0 = 10 -5.78*g

5.78*g = 10

g = 1.73 m/s^2

Then we can use this value to find out the weigh of the ball in that planet:

w = g*m = 0.1*1.73 = 0.173 N

A square loop of wire with a small resistance is moved with constant speed from a field free region into a region of uniform B f
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

False, True, False, True

Explanation:

Given a square loop of a wire having a small resistance and moving with a constant sped from the free region to a region having a region having a uniform field B.  It is then moved back to the left in the free field region.

For the following statements :

While the loop is entirely in the field, the emf in the loop is zero.  -- TRUE

The emf of the coil is zero when the coil moves into the field from a free region field to a uniform field region field.

When entering the field the coil experiences a magnetic force to the left   ---- FALSE

According to the Lenz law, a loop entering the field opposes it and moves towards the right.

When leaving the field the coil experiences a magnetic force to the right. --- TRUE

Upon entering the field, a clockwise current flows in the loop.  ---- TRUE

In the field the coil or the loop tries to oppose the magnetic field and forces the current in the loop to move in a clockwise direction.

A ball rolls down a hill, starting from rest. How long is it rolling if it accelerates at 3m/s2 and ends with a velocity of 35m/
Kryger [21]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The answer to this question is 11.67 s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

As we know that accelartion is the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be write as

a = (V_f -V_i) /t

where

V_f is the final velocity

V_i is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the accelartion

as we konw

a = 3 ms^{-2}

t = ?

From rest So,

V_i = 0

V_f = 35 ms^{-1}

Putting values

3 = (35 - 0)/t

3 = 35/t

t = 35/3

t = 11.67 s

So, the right answe is 11.67 s

A car traveling at a speed of 13 meters per second accelerates uniformly to a speed of 25 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. 11-
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a=2.4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 13 m/s

Final speed of a car, v = 25 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the car during this 5.0 second time interval. Let a is the acceleration. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{25-13}{5}\\\\=2.4\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 2.4\ m/s^2.

A balloon is filled at sea level on a spring day (temperature 20°C) to a volume of 0.500 m3 and then brought at op of Mount Ever
blagie [28]

Answer:

Volume increases

Explanation:

The balloon when filled at sea level being comparatively close to the center of the earth will have higher pressure due to the influence of gravity and when this balloon is taken to the top of the mountain being away from the center of earth, it will experience a lesser pressure due to low gravity where the amount of force exerted by the air on the object is lesser as compared to to that at the sea level.

Therefore, there will be an increase in volume of the balloon as there is expansion of air on the inside of the balloon as a result of low pressure.

There is not  much effect of temperature at both the sea level and the mountain top as the temperature does not impart any energy to the air molecules so as to decrease the volume.

Therefore,there is an increase in the volume of the balloon at the top of the mountain.

Percentage change in volume is given by:

% change = \farc{V - 0.5}{0.5}times 100
