Answer:

g

=

9.80

m/s

2

.

Although

g

varies from

9.78

m/s

2

to

9.83

m/s

2

, depending on latitude, altitude, underlying geological formations, and local topography, the average value of

9.80

m/s

2

will be used in this text unless otherwise specified. The direction of the acceleration due to gravity is downward (towards the center of Earth). In fact, its direction defines what we call vertical. Note that whether the acceleration

a

in the kinematic equations has the value

+

g

or

−

g

depends on how we define our coordinate system. If we define the upward direction as positive, then

a

=

−

g

=

−

9.80

m/s

2

, and if we define the downward direction as positive, then

a

=

g

=

9.80

m/s

2

.

One-Dimensional Motion Involving Gravity

The best way to see the basic features of motion involving gravity is to start with the simplest situations and then progress toward more complex ones. So we start by considering straight up and down motion with no air resistance or friction. These assumptions mean that the velocity (if there is any) is vertical. If the object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero. Once the object has left contact with whatever held or threw it, the object is in free-fall. Under these circumstances, the motion is one-dimensional and has constant acceleration of magnitude

g

.

We will also represent vertical displacement with the symbol

y

and use

x

for horizontal displacement.

Example 1: Calculating Position and Velocity of a Falling Object: A Rock Thrown Upward

A person standing on the edge of a high cliff throws a rock straight up with an initial velocity of 13.0 m/s. The rock misses the edge of the cliff as it falls back to earth. Calculate the position and velocity of the rock 1.00 s, 2.00 s, and 3.00 s after it is thrown, neglecting the effects of air resistance.

Strategy

Draw a sketch.

Velocity vector arrow pointing up in the positive y direction, labeled v sub 0 equals thirteen point 0 meters per second. Acceleration vector arrow pointing down in the negative y direction, labeled a equals negative 9 point 8 meters per second squared.

Figure 2.

We are asked to determine the position

y

at various times. It is reasonable to take the initial position

y

0

to be zero. This problem involves one-dimensional motion in the vertical direction. We use plus and minus signs to indicate direction, with up being positive and down negative. Since up is positive, and the rock is thrown upward, the initial velocity must be positive too. The acceleration due to gravity is downward, so

a

is negative. It is crucial that the initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity have opposite signs. Opposite signs indicate that the acceleration due to gravity opposes the initial motion and will slow and eventually reverse it.

Since we are asked for values of position and velocity at three times, we will refer to these as

y

1

and

v

1

;

y

and

v

; and

y

and

2. Identify the best equation to use. We will use

because it includes only one unknown,

Discussion

The rock is 8.10 m above its starting point at

t

=

1.00

s, since

y

>

y

. It could be moving up or down; the only way to tell is to calculate

v

and find out if it is positive or negative.

Discussion

The positive value for

v

1

means that the rock is still heading upward at

t

=

1.00

s

. However, it has slowed from its original 13.0 m/s, as expected.

Solution for Remaining Times

The procedures for calculating the position and velocity at

t

=

2.00

s

and

3.00

s

are the same as those above. The results are summarized in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3.

2.00 s 6.40 m −6.60 m/s −9.80 m/s2

3.00 s −5.10 m −16.4 m/s −9.80 m/s2

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two main forms of energy which are:

  • Potential energy
  • Kinetic energy

Chemical energy energy is a form of potential energy produced through chemical reactions. A car battery is an electrochemical that converts chemical energy into electrical energy for use in the iPod. The battery is made up of electrodes through which electron flows in one direction and current is generated by the potential difference set up

Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy that tends to pull all bodies to the center of the earth. It is an attractive force.

Electrical energy is a form of energy produced through the flow of electric current in a body. As the positive charge moves away from the strong negative plate, an electric current is produced.

Elastic energy is a potential energy stored in elastic bodies that can be stretched and are not plastic.

What mechanism is most responsible for generating the internal heat of Io that drives its volcanic activity?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Tidal heating

Explanation:

Tidal force is the ability of a massive body to produce tides on another body. The tidal force depends on the mass of the body that produces the tides and the distance between the two bodies.

Tidal forces can cause the destruction of a satellite that orbits a planet or a comet that is too close to the Sun or a planet. When the orbiting body crosses the "Roche boundary", the tidal forces along the body are more intense than the cohesion forces that hold the body together.

Tidal friction is the force between the Earth's oceans and ocean floors caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The Earth tries to transport the waters of the oceans with it, while the Moon tries to keep them under it and on the opposite side of the Earth. In the long term, tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation speed to decrease, thus shortening the day. In turn, the Moon increases its angular momentum and gradually spirals away from Earth. Finally, when the day equals the orbital period of the Moon (which will be about 40 times the length of the current day), the process will cease. Subsequently, a new process will begin when the power to raise tides from the Sun takes angular momentum from the Earth-Moon system. The Moon will then spiral towards Earth until it is destroyed when it enters the "Roche boundary."

<u>Tidal heating </u>

It is the warming caused by the tidal action on a planet or satellite. The most important example of tidal heating in the Solar System is the effect of Jupiter on its Io satellite, in which the tidal effects produce such high temperatures that the interior of the satellite melts, producing volcanism.

A certain computer chip that has dimensions of 3.67 cm and 2.93 cm contains 3.5 million transistors. If the transistors are squa
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1.56 × 10^-3 cm.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following parameters from the question above;

Length = 3.67 cm, breadth = 2.93 cm, and the number of embedded transistors = 3.5 million.

Step one: find the area of the computer chip.

Therefore, Area = Length × breadth.

Area = 3.67 cm × 2.93 cm.

Area of the computer chip = 10.7531 cm^2. = 10.75 cm^2.

Step two: find the area of one transistor

The area of one transistor is; (area of the computer chip) ÷ (number of embedded transistors).

Hence;

The area of one transistor= 10.7531/4.4 × 10^6.

The area of one transistor= 2.44 × 10^-6 cm^2.

=> Note that We have our transistors as square, therefore;

The maximum dimension = √ (2.44 × 10^-6) cm^2.

The maximum dimension= 1.56 × 10^-3 cm.

What is the acceleration for an object moving with constant speed? Explain your answer
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

What is the acceleration of an object moving at a constant speed?

The Meaning of Constant Acceleration

The data table above show an object changing its velocity by 10 m/s in each consecutive second. This is referred to as a constant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a constant amount each second.
