Planet X has three times the free-fall acceleration of Earth.

Physics

serious [3.7K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a) The ball goes one-third times higher on X

b) The ball goes three times higher on X.

Explanation:

a)

  • As the initial velocity is the same than on Earth, but the free-fall acceleration is three times larger, this means that the only net force acting on the ball (gravity) will be three times larger, so it is clear that the ball will reach to a lower height, as it will slowed down more quickly.
  • Kinematically, as we know that the speed becomes zero when the ball reaches to the maximum height, we can use the following kinematic equation:

        v_{f} ^{2} - v_{o}^{2}  = 2* \Delta h* g

       since vf = 0, solving for Δh, we have:

       \Delta h = h_{max} =\frac{v_{o} ^{2}}{2*g} (1)

       if v₀ₓ = v₀E, and gₓ = 3*gE, replacing in (1), we get:

     Δhₓ = 1/3 * ΔhE

      which confirms our intuitive reasoning.

b)    

  • Now, if the initial velocity is three times larger than the one on Earth, even the acceleration due to gravity is three times larger, we conclude that the ball will go higher than on Earth.
  • We can use the same kinematic equation as in (1) replacing Vox by 3*VoE, as follows:

       \Delta h = h_{max} =\frac{(3*v_{o}) ^{2}}{2*3*g} (2)

      Replacing the right side of (1) in (2), we get:

      Δhx = 3* ΔhE

      which confirms our intuitive reasoning also.

An object with a starting velocity of 15 m/s accelerates at 3m/s2 how far does the object travel within 10 seconds
sineoko [7]
Use the kinematics equation:
d = vt + 1/2at^2.
In this problem,
v = 15 m/s.
a = 3 m/s^2,
t = 10 s,
So:
d = 15(10) + 1/2*(3)*(10^2) = 300 meters

When a metal sphere is dropped in to a tall cylinder containing liquid its acceleration is g/2 (gravity over 2). Shaow that : de
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Fm is the net force down on the metal in air

Fm / 2 is the net force down on the metal in liquid

Fl is the buoyant force on the metal due to liquid

Fm - Fl = Fm / 2      equating upward and downward forces

Fm / 2 = Fl    

The specific gravity of the metal is twice that of the liquid

Note: F = M g = ρ V g     since ρ = M / V

Find the torque when the work done to more through an angel of 1/4π radians is 3j​
Basile [38]

Answer:

The torque is approximately 3.82 N·m

Explanation:

The relationship between work done, 'W', and the applied torque, 'τ' can be presented as follows;

W = τ × Δθ

Where;

W = The work done by the torque

τ = The magnitude of the torque

Δθ = The angle through which the object is turned

The parameters for 'W' and 'Δθ' are;

W = 3j

Δθ = 1/4 × π

From W = τ × Δθ, we have;

τ = W/Δθ

∴ τ = 3j/(1/4 × π) ≈ 3.81971863421 N·m

The torque, τ ≈ 3.82 N·m
