Settlers are trying to determine the value of g on a distant planet. They throw a wrench downward from a height of 3 m. If the i

nitial speed of the wrench is 2 m/s, and the speed right before impact is 10 m/s, what is the value of g?

<h2>Value of g on the distant planet is 16 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Here initial velocity, u = 2 m/s

Final velocity, v = 10 m/s

Displacement, s = 3 m

We need to find acceleration, a.

Substituting

               v² = u² + 2as

               10² = 2² + 2 x a x 3

                6a =  96

                  a = 16 m/s²

Value of g on the distant planet is 16 m/s²

A ball of mass m is found to have a weight Wx on Planet X. Which of the following is a correct expression for the gravitational
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

A steel ball bearing with a radius of 1.5 cm forms an image of an object that has been placed 1.1 cm away from the bearing’s sur
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

The image is virtual

The image is upright

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

Kindly check the diagram in the attached image below.
