Concept Simulation 2.3 offers a useful review of the concepts central to this problem. An astronaut on a distant planet wants to

determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of 17.4 m/s and measures a time of 12.4 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2

Natali [406]

centripetal acceleration is given by formula

a_c = \omega^2*R

given that

a_c = 34.1 m/s^2

R  =  5.91 m

now we have

\omega^2 R = 34.1

\omega^2 * 5.91 = 34.1

\omega^2 = 5.77

\omega = 2.4 rad/s

so the ratationa frequency is given by

\omega = 2 \pi f

2.4 = 2 \pi f

f = \frac{2.4}{2\pi}

f = 0.38 Hz

if a stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees to the horizontal with an initial velocity of 50m/s, what is the vertical comp
Vilka [71]

Answer:

38.3 m/s

Explanation:

To find vertical component of initial velocity, you'd have to use sine ratio:

\displaystyle{\sin \theta = \dfrac{u_y}{u}}

\displaystyle{u_y} is vertical component of initial velocity and \displaystyle{u} is initial velocity given which is 50 m/s.

A stone is projected at an angle of 50 degrees so \displaystyle{\theta} = 50°. Substitute in the formula:

\displaystyle{\sin 50^{\circ} = \dfrac{u_y}{50}}\\\\\displaystyle{50 \sin 50^{\circ} = u_y}\\\\\displaystyle{u_y = 38.3 \ \, \sf{m/s}}

Therefore, the vertical component of initial velocity is approximately 38.3 m/s

<span>A. three</span><span>

Oil spill can be very harmful to marine life because  the chemical make up of oils can be poisonous to marine life. The oil can also affect the natural body temperature of marine animals especially to the small fish. Sea otters and sea birds are the most commonly affected by oil spills and those other marine animals that can be found in the shoreline. Heavy oils like the bunker oils used to fuel ships are the most harmful oil because when this oil stick to birds feathers, they may have an inability to warm themselves that could lead them to die.</span>
