The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Moon is 1.6 m/s2 . A 5.0 kg stone thrown upward on Moon reaches a height of 20 m.
kramer

Answer:

(a) 8 m/s

(b) 5 s

Explanation:

(a)

Using,

V² = U²+2gh ......................... Equation 1

Where V = final velocity, U = Initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon, h = height reached.

Given: V = 0 m/s ( At it's maximum height), g = -1.6 m/s² ( as its moves against gravity), h = 20 m.

Substitute into equation 1

0 = U²+[2×20×(-1.6)]

-U² = - 64

U² = 64

U = √64

U = 8 m/s.

(b)

V = U +gt.................... Equation 2

Where t = time to reach the maximum height.

Given: V = 0 m/s ( At the maximum height), g = -1.6 m/s² ( Moving against gravity), U = 8 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

0 = 8+(-1.6t)

-8 = -1.6t

-1.6t = -8

t = -8/-1.6

t = 5 s.

What does the doppler effect tell astronomers about the universe
Luden [163]
The doppler effect has red and blue shifts. A red shift means something is moving farther away, and a blue shift means it is moving closer. The universe has a red shift, and since a red shift means that it is moving farther away, this tells astronomers that the universe is still expanding.
