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

How is Newton’s 3rd law in baseball?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:Explanation: According to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the bat hitting the ball will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction of the force the ball exerts on the bat. Generally, your arms are stiff when you hit the ball forward, so you will not feel the bat "recoiling".
