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?

8 0

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

We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?
Olin [163]
Sound spreads through some kind of medium. Most of the time the medium is usually air. Sound can go through walls, like when you are playing really loud music and the neighbors tell you its to loud, you can't block it because it can travel through objects. Light does not need a medium to travel with. if you put a light in a room with no windows and no cracks, and you seal off the door the light can't escape that room, but if you did the same thing with sound it would travel trough the walls.
