Answer:

1.23×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is:

a = GM / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant,

M is the mass of the planet,

and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.

When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.

g = GM / R²

When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.

1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²

Divide the first equation by the second:

g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)

410 = (i + R)² / R²

410 R² = (i + R)²

410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²

0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²

Solve with quadratic formula:

i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)

i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2

i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2

i = -R ± R√410

i = (-1 ± √410) R

Since i > 0:

i = (-1 + √410) R

R = 6.37×10⁶ m:

i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m

<h2>Answer:5ms^{-1},133.6m,51.18ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Let v_{x},v_{y} be the horizontal and vertical components of velocity.

Question a:

Horizontal component of velocity is the ratio of range and time of flight.

So,horizontal component of velocity is \frac{235}{47}=5ms^{-1}

So,v_{x}=5ms^{-1}

Question b:

Time of flight=\frac{2v_{y}}{g}

So,v_{y}=\frac{47\times 9.8}{2}=51.18ms^{-1}

Maximum height is given by \frac{v_{y}^{2}}{2g}

So,maximum height is \frac{51.18^{2}}{2\times 9.8}=133.6m

Question c:

The vertical velocity is already calculated in Question b.

v_{y}=51.18ms^{-1}

Three diffrent examples of accelerated motion
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The three different examples of the accelerated motion are Falling/dropping of ball, Standing in circular rotating space, moving around the circle.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, which is related to the speed and direction in which the object is travelling. Hence, speeding up, slowing down and turning are few types . A simple example would be dropping a ball: as it falls its speed increases, which is a type of acceleration. A more complicated example would be standing in a circular, rotating space station. A point on the station moves in a circle, meaning that as it travels it must be turning (to remain in circular motion) making this another example of acceleration

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}

t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s

Check

t_{2}=8s

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}

x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16
