An astronaut on a strange planet finds that she can jump a maximum horizontal distance of 16.0 m if her initial speed is 3.60 m/
s. what is the free-fall acceleration on the planet? (ignore air resistance.)
1 answer:
The maximum height that is reached by an object thrown or jumped at a certain initial velocity can be calculated through the equation,
2ad = Vf² - Vi²
Vf is zero (0) in this equation because this is the point at the velocity at the maximum height of the object.
Substituting the known values,
2(a)(-16) = 0 - (3.6)²
The value of a from the equation is 0.405 m/s².
<em>Answer: 0.405 m/s²</em>

potential energy
Explanation:
PE = m*g*h
mass of water = 1000kg/m³
(4*10^10m³)*1000kg = 4*10^13kg
PE = (4*10^13kg)*(9.81m/s²)*(100m)
PE = 3.92x10^16J

Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Thermal expansion

L = 1.2 meter
ΔT = 65 - 15 = 50°C
Thermal Expansion Coefficient for aluminum, α = 24 x 10⁻⁶/°C
We have change in length

New length = 1.2 + 1.44 x 10⁻³ = 1.2014 m
