On a planet, the acceleration due to gravity is only 7.2 m/s². A person living on that planet throws a football at 10 m/s at an angle of 48 degrees to the horizontal. The person is standing, so the ball launches from an initial height of 1.8 meters above the ground. (Ignore any air resistance here.)

What maximum height from the ground would the ball reach?
What would be the flight time before the ball gets back to the ground?

Expert Solution

From the data given,

Acceleration due to gravity on the planet

g= 7.2 m/s^2

Initial velocity with which ball is projected is u

u = 10 m/s

Angle =48°

a) maximum height from the ground H= 5.6 m

b) time of flight t= 2.11 sec

On planet Jerousek, which has almost no atmosphere, the acceration due to gravity is 10.5 m/s2m/s2.A projectile is launched from the top of a steep hill with an initial velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 43º from the horizon. The projectile takes 14 s to hit the ground at the bottom of the hill. (Neglect air resistance) Part A - How long does it take for the projectile to reach the ground? t = nothing s Part B...

An object of 4 kg (assuming the acceleration of gravity g = 10 m / s2 ) suspended from a spring causes the spring to stretch 2 cm downwards. The object is moved 3 cm down from from its equilibrium position in the positive direction of movement, then it is released with speed zero initial. Assuming that there is no damping and that the object is under external force equal to: 20cos4(t) (N) a) Formulate the initial value problem that...

The surface pressure on Venus is 92.00 atmatm, and the acceleration due to gravity there is 0.894 gg. In a future exploratory mission, an upright cylindrical tank of benzene is sealed at the top but still pressurized at 92.00 atmatm just above the benzene. The tank has a diameter of 1.80 mm , and the benzene column is 11.10 mm tall. Ignore any effects due to the very high temperature on Venus. A) What total force is exerted on the...

2.) For this problem the heights are low enough that the acceleration due to gravity can be approximated as -g. (Note: even at low Earth orbit, such as the location of the International Space Station, the acceleration due to gravity is not much smaller then g. The apparent weightlessness is due to the space station and its occupants being in free-fall.) A rocket is launched vertically from a launchpad on the surface of the Earth. The net acceleration (provided by...
