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

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

A flat, wide cloud floats horizontally a few kilometers above the surface of Earth. Its lower surface carries a uniform surface
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

Explanation:

Electric field strength= Force/unit charge

E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r

where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge

E= \frac{kQ}{r^2} r^
