Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity on moon , g_m=1.67\ m/s^2 .

Height , h = 2 m .

To Find :

Final position after falling for 1.5 seconds .

Solution :

We know , by equation of motion :

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Here , a = g_m .

So , equation will transform by :

s=ut+\dfrac{g_mt^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{1.67\times 1.5^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=1.88\ m

Therefore , the height form moon's surface is 1.88 m .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

Initial momentum = mass x initial velocity = 100 x 5 = 500 kg m/s

final momentum = mass x final velocity = 100 x - 4 = -400 ( - ve sign due to reversal of direction )

change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

= - 400 - 500 = - 900 kg m/s .

As it is - ve , it acts upwards .

So magnitude of  impulse on Perter = 900 kg m/s

A ball is thrown vertically upwards at 19.6 m/s. for its complete trip (up and back down to the starting position), its average
Alex17521 [72]
The average velocity of an object is given by:
Average velocity = total displacement / total time

First, we calculate the time taken to reach the maximum height of the ball. This occurs when the final velocity is 0.
Vf = Vi + at
0 = 19.6 - 9.81 * t
t = 2 seconds

The total trip will be of 4 seconds (2 seconds up, 2 seconds down)

The total displacement is given by:
s = ut + 1/2 * at²
s = 19.6 * 2 - 0.5 * 9.81 * 2²
s = 19.6 meters

This is the distance maximum height, so the total height is
19.6 * 2 = 39.2 meters

Average velocity = 39.2 / 4
Average velocity = 9.8 m/s

A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of 31 ft/s from a height of 40 ft. (a) What is its speed just before it s
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a. 41.96ft/s

b. 1.096s

Explanation:

a. v²=u²+2gs

v²=31²+2×10×40

V=41.96ft/s

b. t=(v-u) /g

t=(41.96-31)/10

t=1.096s
