|Average acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning)

= (40 m/s) - ( 0 )

= 40 m/s .

|Average acceleration| = (40 m/s) / (60 sec) = 2/3 m/s² .

A 1.5 kg ball is thrown upward at 10 m/s. What is its velocity when it is 2 m above the release point?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

7.75m/s or $2\sqrt{15}m/s$

Explanation:

m = 1.5kg

u= 10m/s

s = 2m

a = $10m/s^{2}$

v = ?

acceleration due to gravity is negative when an object is going up because the force of gravity reduces the speed of the object

using the formula ;

$v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as$ since the object is moving upwards (negative acceleration)

= 100 - 2(10)(2)

100 - 40

$v^{2}$ = 60

v = $\sqrt{60}$

= 7.75m/s

The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the

nataly862011 [7]

Answer with Explanation:

Let rest mass $m_0$ at point P at distance x from center of the planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and the moon.

Mass of moon=m

Distance between the center of moon and center of planet=D

Mass of planet=M

We are given that net force on an object will be zero

a.We have to derive an expression for x in terms of m, M and D.

We know that gravitational force= $\frac{GmM}{r^2}$

Distance of P from moon=D-x

$F_m$ =Force applied on rest mass due to m

$F_m$ =Force on rest mass due to mas M

$F_M=F_m$ because net force is equal to 0.

$F_m=F_M$

$\frac{Gm_0m}{(D-x)^2}=\frac{Gm_0M}{x^2}$

$\frac{m}{(D-x)^2}=\frac{M}{x^2}$

$\frac{x^2}{(D-x)^2}=\frac{M}{m}$

$\frac{x}{D-x}=\sqrt{\frac{M}{m}}$

Let $R=\sqrt{\frac{M}{m}}$

Then, $\frac{x}{D-x}=R$

$x=DR-xR$

$x+xR=DR$

$x(1+R)=DR$

$x=\frac{DR}{1+R}$

b.We have to find the ratio R of the mass of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon when x= $\frac{2}{3}D$

Net force is zero

$F_m=F_M$

$\frac{Gm_0m}{(D-\frac{2}{3}D)^2}=\frac{Gm_0M}{\frac{4}{9}D^2}$

$\frac{m}{\frac{D^2}{9}}=\frac{9M}{4D^2}$

$\frac{M}{m}=4$

Hence, the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon=4:1
