What does NOT experience gravity?

1 answer:

marissa [1.9K]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Astronauts who are orbiting the Earth often experience sensations of weightlessness. These sensations experienced by orbiting astronauts are the same sensations experienced by anyone who has been temporarily suspended above the seat on an amusement park ride. Not only are the sensations the same (for astronauts and roller coaster riders), but the causes of those sensations of weightlessness are also the same. Unfortunately however, many people have difficulty understanding the causes of weightlessness.

An astronaut holds a rock 100 m above surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upwards with a sleek of 15m/s. The rock reach

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: $5 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

This problem is related to vertical motion, and the equation that models it is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0m$ is the rock's final height

$y_{o}=100 m$ is the rock's initial height

$V_{o}=15 m/s$ is the rock's initial velocity

$\theta=90\°$ is the angle at which the rock was thrown (directly upwards)

$t=10 s$ is the time

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X

Isolating $g$ and taking into account $sin(90\°)=1$ :

$g=(-\frac{2}{t^{2}})(y-y_{o}-V_{o}t)$ (2)

$g=(-\frac{2}{(10 s)^{2}})(0 m-100 m-(15 m/s)(10 s))$ (3)

$g=5 m/s^{2}$ (4) This is the acceleration due gravity in Planet X
