- help me find the correct answer for What is the acceleration of the object at t = 2.5 s?arrow_forwardStarting from rest, a child throws a ball of mass m with an initial speed v, at an angle B with the horizontal direction. The child then chases after the ball, accelerating at a constant acceleration a . If the child wants to catch the ball at the same height as it was thrown, what must be the child's acceleration a ? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables v, m, B and g for the gravitational constant. Express the trigonometric functions in terms of the basic sin(B), cos(B) or tan(B).

- Suppose you could safely explore every terrestrial world in the solar system to conduct basic physics experiments. On your return from visiting several of these worlds, you realize that you forgot to label the data for the free fall acceleration experiments you performed. The following graph shows the vertical distance fallen (m) as a function of time (s) for a rock dropped from rest on the surface of one of the terrestrial worlds you visited in the solar system. A chart is included with known free fall accelerations of various terrestrial worlds. Where were the data collected?arrow_forwardQuestion 4 Please !!!arrow_forwardPlease write the units.arrow_forward
- A planet orbiting a distant star has radius 3.54×106 mm. The escape speed for an object launched from this planet's surface is 7.65×103 m/sm/s. What is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA space shuttle is fired and the position of the shuttle is given by r(t)=(2*t*t-5*t)i+ (3*t+1)j+(12*t*t*t)k where t is in seconds, r is in meters and ij,k are the unit vectors of x,y,z directions respectively. Find the average acceleration of the space shuttle between the time interval t=10 s and t=1 minutes. *arrow_forwardIt has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to the earth when a meteor hit Mars and blasted pieces of rock (perhaps containing primitive life) free of the Martian surface. Astronomers know that many Martian rocks have come to the earth this way. (For instance, search the Internet for “ALH 84001.”) One objection to this idea is that microbes would have had to undergo an enormous lethal acceleration during the impact. Let us investigate how large such an acceleration might be. To escape Mars, rock fragments would have to reach its escape velocity of 5.0 km/s, and that would most likely happen over a distance of about 4.0 m during the meteor impact. (a) What would be the acceleration (in m/s2 and g’s) of such a rock fragment, if the acceleration is constant? (b) How long would this acceleration last? (c) In tests, scientists have found that over 40% of Bacillus subtilis bacteria survived after an acceleration of 450,000g. In light…arrow_forward
