You have just landed on Planet X. You take out a ball of mass 101 g , release it from rest from a height of 16.0 m and measure t

hat it takes a time of 2.91 s to reach the ground. You can ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. How much does the ball weigh on the surface of Planet X?

Answer:

0.3817 N

Explanation:

Remark

One thing is certain: the ball has a mass of 101 grams wherever it is in the universe. That is not true of the force. The force on the moon is a whole lot less than it is on earth, and maybe planet x as well.

Givens

m = 101 g

vi = 0       That's what at rest means.

t = 2.91 s

d = 16 m

F= ?

Formulas

d = vi*t + 1/2*a * t^2

Force = m * a

Solution

16 = 0 + 1/2 a * 2.91^2

16 = 4.234 a                       Divide by 4.234

16/4.234 = a

a = 3.779

F = m * a

a = 3.779

m = 101 g = 1 kg / 1000 grams

m = 0.101 kg

F = 0.101 * 3.779

F = 0.3817N

Use your knowledge of waves to explain why echoes occur. Use your explanation to devise a system to measure distances to objects
german

Explanation:

Echoes occur due to the reflection of sound from any obstacle, but not all the reflected sound waves lead to the phenomenon of echo. For the echo to be heard it actually depends upon the human perception as well, human ears can encounter the difference between the sound wave directly form the source and the reflected sound waves only if there is a minimum time gap of one-tenth of a second. For this time gap in the atmosphere at normal temperature and pressure the obstacle must be at least 7 meters away from the sound source.

Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (ev
Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. the second object has twice the mass of the first obj
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They both rises to same height.

Explanation:

When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.

Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.

Therefore, they rises to the same height because  height will not change with mass.
