On Planet Y, which has no air, a dropped object falls 9 m in 3 seconds. What is g, the acceleration due to gravity, on that plan
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Explanation:

Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":

yf - yi = 1/2 a  t^2

using the information provided this equation becomes:

9 = 1/2 a (3)^2

solve for a:

9 * 2 / 9 = a

then a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

An object is thrown with an initial speed v near the surface of Earth. Assume that air resistance is negligible and the gravitat
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

E. downward and constant

Explanation:

Freefall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration because the acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. This is true even when an object is thrown upward or has zero velocity.

For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward. Since gravity pulls the object toward the earth with a constant acceleration ggg, the magnitude of velocity decreases as the ball approaches maximum height. At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball has zero velocity, and the magnitude of velocity increases again as the ball falls back toward the earth.

What is a gravitational field and how its strength be measured
Yakvenalex [24]
A gravitational field is the field generated by a massive body, that extends into the entire space. Every object with mass m experiences a force F when immersed in a gravitational field. The intensity of the force is equal to
F= \frac{GM}{r^2}  m
where G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 Kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational  constant, M is the mass of the source of the field (e.g. the mass of a planet), and r is the distance between the object and the source of the field. The force is always attractive. 

A possible way to measure the intensity of a gravitational field is by measuring the acceleration a of the object immersed in this field. In fact, for Newton's second law we have:
F=ma
but since 
F= \frac{GM}{r^2} m
we can write
a =  \frac{GM}{r^2}
Therefore, by measuring the acceleration of the object, we also measure the intensity of the field.
