A baseball on the Moon and an identical baseball on the Earth are thrown vertically upward with the same initial velocity of 12

m/s. The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/6 that of Earth. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the moon? What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the earth? What is the difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth?

Answer:

a. 3.68 m b. 0.61 m c. 3.07 m

Explanation:

a. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the moon?

Using v² = u² - 2g'h where u = initial velocity of baseball = 12 m/s, v =  final velocity of baseball = 0 m/s (since it stops at maximum height), g' = acceleration due to gravity on moon = g/6 where g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s², so g' = 9.8 m/s²/6 = 1.63 m/s² and h = maximum height of ball on moon.

So, making h subject of the formula, we have

h = -(v² - u²)/2g'

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = -((0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²)/2(1.63 m/s²)

=  -(- 12 m²/s²)/2(1.63 m/s²)

= 6 m²/s²)/(1.63 m/s²)

= 3.68 m

b. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the earth?

Using the same equation for the maximum height the baseball travels on the moon for that on the earth, the maximum height h' the baseball travels on the earth is given by  

h' = -(v² - u²)/2g where u = initial velocity of baseball = 12 m/s, v =  final velocity of baseball = 0 m/s (since it stops at maximum height),  g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²and h' = maximum height of ball on moon.

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = -((0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²)/2(9.8 m/s²)

=  -(- 12 m²/s²)/2(9.8 m/s²)

= 6 m²/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

= 0.61 m

c. What is the difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth?

The difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth is d = h - h' = 3.68 m - 0.61 m = 3.07 m

Consider three planets. All have the same mass as Earth, but with different radii (from largest to smallest: Planet 1, 2, 3). Fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of the three planet is same

radius of the planets are

R₁ > R₂ > R₃

expression of escape velocity

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

from the above expression we can clearly conclude that the escape velocity is inversely proportional to the radius of the Planet.

radius of planet increases escape velocity decreases.

Hence planet 3 has the smallest radius so the escape velocity of the third planet will be maximum.

The correct answer is option C

M (b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.
MaRussiya [10]

The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V  is 6.49\times10^6m/s

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>

We know, that the  energy of the system is always conserved.

Using the Law of Conservation of energy,

\triangle K+\triangle U=0

Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:

(\frac{1}{2} mv^2)+(-q\triangle V) =0------(1)

Here,

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

q is the charge on the electron

V is the potential difference

Let v_f and v_i represent the final and initial speed.

Here, v_i =0

Solving for v_f, we get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{-2q\triangle V}{m} }

=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1.602\times10^{-19}\times 120}{9.109\times10^{-31}} }

=6.49\times10^6m/s
