You are on the plane neptune and want to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. You have a stopwatch and a toy gun that can launch a ping pong ball vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. Describe, in words, how you would perform an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Be sure to describe the variables you would measure, the equations you would use and the assumptions you would make.
Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system.
Thanks!
A plane flying at 78.2 m/s [W32°S] takes 42 seconds to change its velocity to 78.2 m/s
[S32°E].
a) Solve for the change in velocity of the plane algebraically, resolving vectors into their x- and
y-components.
b) What was the average acceleration of the plane over this time interval?
c) Explain why the speed of the plane didn't change and yet the plane underwent
acceleration.
Please label sketches with events as well as GRASS and explanations to show your work. Please
label triangle sides. Remember to have the magnitude rounded to a reasonable number of sig
figs, the unit and the direction (if needed) in your answers.
I need help with finding the magnitude and direction of the graph attached. For part a I've tried 2 times with this question using F = sqrt ((Fx2 + Fy2)) to find the magnitude and the direction using tan-1(y/x), and so far it still says incorrect.
A. Calculate the magnitude and direction.
B. When a fourth force is applied to the mass, it is observed that the velocity of the mass stops changing and remains constant. What are the horizontal and vertical components of that fourth force?
(This all the information that I was given)

- You fire a ball with an initial speed V0 at an angle (ϕ) above the surface of an incline, which is itself inclined at an angle (θ) above the horizontal (Figure below). a. Find the distance, measured along the incline, from the launch point to the point when the ball strikes the incline. b. What angle ϕ gives the maximum range, measured along the incline? Ignore air resistance. c. Since there's no air resistance, this is a problem in projectile motion. The goal is to find the point where the ball's parabolic trajectory intersects the incline. It is best to choose the x-axis to be horizontal and direct to the right, the y-axis to be vertical and direct to the up, and the origin to be at the point where the ball is fired. In the projectile equations, the launch angle α0 is measured from the horizontal. What is this angle in terms of (θ) and (ϕ)?arrow_forwardHow do I do A. B, C, and D?

- Help! An asteroid is heading towards us at 10 km/s. Scientists decide the best solution is to attach a rocket to the asteroid and fire it to change the trajectory of the asteroid. If the rocket is fired for 8 min, the scientists calculate that the new speed for the asteroid will be 21 km/s and its new trajectory will be at an angle of 25° to its original path. Part A In the process described above, what is the acceleration of the asteroid? Express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma. Assume that the positive axis is in the direction of the initial motion of the asteroid.
