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

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t
leonid [27]

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.

After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).

Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.

Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.

ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

slega [8]

Answer:


F₁ = 4,120.2 N


F₂ = 3,924N


Explanation:



1) Balance of angular momentum around the end where F₁ is applied.


F₂ × 0.5m - F₁ × 0 = mass × g × 1m


⇒ F2 × 0.5 m= 20 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 1 m = 1,962 N×m


F₂ = 196.2 Nm / 0.5m = 3,924 N


2) Balance of forces


F₁ - F₂ = mg


F₁ = F₂ + mg = 3,924N + 20kg (9.81 m/s²) = 4,120.2 N
