"Free Fall" MEANS that the only force acting on the object is
the force of gravity.  It may be falling, but if there's any other
force acting on it besides gravity, like maybe air resistance,
then it's NOT in "free fall".

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is  taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.

Physical data is often used in the court system. In fact, police officers use radar to determine your speed when you are driving
Mashcka [7]

The driver is telling the truth, the radar gun must have been set incorrectly to record relative velocity.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Speed of the driver observed by the stationary police officer, Vo = 44.7 m/s</em>
  • <em>Speed of the driver, V = 26.8 m/s.</em>
  • <em>Speed limit = 60 mph</em>

The speed limit of the driver in meter per second is calculated as follows;

= 60 \ \times \frac{miles}{hour} \times \frac{1609.34 \ m}{1 \ mile} \times \frac{1 \ hr}{3600 \ s}\\\\= 26.82 \ m/s

From the speed limit, it is obvious that the driver's speed is within the limit. Thus, we can conclude that the driver is telling the truth, the radar gun must have been set incorrectly to record relative velocity.
