To develop this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. Specifically, the second law that describes the position of a body as a function of its initial velocity, time and acceleration.

y = ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here,

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

g = Acceleration due to gravitation

If we replace the values to find the gravitational acceleration we have then,

1.7m = 0+\frac{1}{2} g*0.36^2

g= 26.2346m/s^2

Recall that the force of gravity on the planet Jupiter is 24.79 m / s² so the measure is closer to this planet. It is likely that you are in Jupiter.

8. A car initially has 100 J of total energy. After driving down the road, the car's
sveta [45]

The work done on the car is -20 J.

Work done on the car is negative, meaning that the car actually does work on the external system.

<h3>Energy and law of conservation of energy</h3>
  • Energy is the ability to do work
  • the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy in a system is conserved

From the law of conservation of energy, the initial energy of the car before it moves down the road remains constant or unchanged.

  • Initial energy = 100 J
  • Initial energy = Final energy - work done on car
  • Final Energy = Work done on car + initial energy

80J = Work done on car + 100 J

Work done on car = 80 - 100J

Work done on car = -20 J

Hence, the work done on the car is -20 J

Work done on car is negative.

Since work done on the car is negative, it means that the car actually does work on the external system. Hence, the decrease in the energy of the car.

When the saw slices wood, the wood exerts a 104-N force on the blade, 0.128 m from the blade’s axis of rotation. If that force i
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

When saw slices wood by exerting a force on the wood , wood also exerts a reaction force on the saw in opposite direction which is equal to the force of action that is 104 N.

So torque exerted by wood on the blade

= force x perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation

= 104 x .128

=13.312 Nm.

Since this torque opposes the movement of blade , it turns the blade slower.

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha
Setler [38]
When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s
