1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by
, where m is the mass of the object and
is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different:
. The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth:
3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:

This is a perfect opportunity to stuff all that data into the general equation for the height of an object that has some initial height, and some initial velocity, when it is dropped into free fall.
H(t) = (H₀) + (v₀ T) + (1/2 a T²)
Height at any time 'T' after the drop =
(initial height) +
(initial velocity) x (T) +
(1/2) x (acceleration) x (T²) .
For the balloon problem ...
-- We have both directions involved here, so we have to define them:
Upward = the positive direction
Initial height = +150 m
Initial velocity = + 3 m/s
Downward = the negative direction
Acceleration (of gravity) = -9.8 m/s²
Height when the bag hits the ground = 0 .
H(t) = (H₀) + (v₀ T) + (1/2 a T²)
0 = (150m) + (3m/s T) + (1/2 x -9.8 m/s² x T²)
-4.9 T² + 3T + 150 = 0
Use the quadratic equation:
T = (-1/9.8) [ -3 plus or minus √(9 + 2940) ]
= (-1/9.8) [ -3 plus or minus 54.305 ]
= (-1/9.8) [ 51.305 or -57.305 ]
T = -5.235 seconds or 5.847 seconds .
(The first solution means that the path of the sandbag is part of
the same path that it would have had if it were launched from the
ground 5.235 seconds before it was actually dropped from balloon
while ascending.)
Concerning the maximum height ... I don't know right now any other
easy way to do that part without differentiating the big equation.
So I hope you've been introduced to a little bit of calculus.
H(t) = (H₀) + (v₀ T) + (1/2 a T²)
H'(t) = v₀ + a T
The extremes of 'H' (height) correspond to points where h'(t) = 0 .
Set v₀ + a T = 0
+3 - 9.8 T = 0
Add 9.8 to each side: 3 = 9.8 T
Divide each side by 9.8 : T = 0.306 second
That's the time after the drop when the bag reaches its max altitude.
Oh gosh ! I could have found that without differentiating.
- The bag is released while moving UP at 3 m/s .
- Gravity adds 9.8 m/s of downward speed to that every second.
So the bag reaches the top of its arc, runs out of gas, and starts
falling, after
(3 / 9.8) = 0.306 second .
At the beginning of that time, it's moving up at 3 m/s.
At the end of that time, it's moving with zero vertical speed).
Average speed during that 0.306 second = (1/2) (3 + 0) = 1.5 m/s .
Distance climbed during that time = (average speed) x (time)
= (1.5 m/s) x (0.306 sec)
= 0.459 meter (hardly any at all)
But it was already up there at 150 m when it was released.
It climbs an additional 0.459 meter, topping out at 150.459 m,
then turns and begins to plummet earthward, where it plummets
to its ultimate final 'plop' precisely 5.847 seconds after its release.
We can only hope and pray that there's nobody standing at
Ground Zero at the instant of the plop.
I would indeed be remiss if were to neglect, in conclusion,
to express my profound gratitude for the bounty of 5 points
that I shall reap from this work. The moldy crust and tepid
cloudy water have been delicious, and will not soon be forgotten.
Answer:
12.5 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Height (h) = 8 m
Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?
NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)
v² = 0 + 156.8
v² = 156.8
Take the square root of both side
v = √156.8
v = 12.5 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²
Time, t = 3 s
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²
s = 44.145 m
The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
