You have just landed on Planet X. You take out a ball of mass 100 gg , release it from rest from a height of 16.0 mm and measure that it takes a time of 2.90 ss to reach the ground. You can ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet. How much does the 100-g ball weigh on the surface of Planet X?

Respuesta :

Limosa

Answer:

0.173 N.

Explanation:

We will calculate the mass and then use the following calculations on the surface of planet X that is :

                           [tex]W=mg[/tex]

We would use the following equation to get the value of g for planet X that is :

                   [tex]y_f-y_i=v_{yi}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Then, put the values in the above equation.

                          [tex]16=0+\frac{1}{2}\times g\times(2.90)^2[/tex]

                           [tex]\bf\mathit{g=3.80\;m/s^2}[/tex]

Now, we will measure the ball weight on planet X's surface:

                          [tex]m=\frac{100}{1000} \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;[1kg=1000g][/tex]

Then, we have to put the value in the above equation.

                        [tex]W=0.1\times 1.73=0.173\:N[/tex]
