Answer:
Explanation:
The strength of the gravitational field at the surface of a planet is given by
(1)
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the planet
R is the radius of the planet
For the Earth:
For the unknown planet,
Substituting into the eq.(1), we find the gravitational acceleration of planet X relative to that of the Earth:
And substituting g = 9.8 m/s^2,
Answer:
4.15 m/s
Explanation:
Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.
i.e.
acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²
Distance covered = S = 6m
Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = = 4 m/s
We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.
Initial velocity = = ?
3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:
Using the known values in the formula, we get:
Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s
