An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +18.9 m/s and measures a time of 16.1 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +17.9 m/s and measures a time of 22.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (positive = up, negative = down)
An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +15 m/s and measures a time of 20.0 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? See Diagram below: Show your work below:
1.) a.) The velocity of a diver just before hitting the water is -7 m/s, where the minus sign indicates that her motion is directly downward. What is her displacement during the last 1.03 s of the dive? ______m b.) An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +12 m/s and measures a time of 18.0 s before the rock returns to his...
Concept Simulation 2.2 offers a useful review of the concepts that lie at the heart of this problem. Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initial velocity of +5600 m/s, while rocket B has an initial velocity of +8300 m/s. After a time t both rockets are again side by side, the displacement of each being zero. The acceleration of rocket A is -17...

Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the gravitational force on this planet so you devise an experiment. You throw a rock up in the air with an initial velocity of 9 m/s and use a stopwatch to record the time it takes to hit the ground. If it takes 5.2 s for the rock to return to the same location from which it...
7. An astronaut shipwrecked on a distant planet with unknown characteristics is on top of a cliff, which he wishes to descend He does not know the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. and he has only a good watch with which to make measurements. He wants to learn the height of the cliff, and to do this, he makes two measurements (Fig. 2-2 ). First, he lets a rock fall from rest off the cliff edge; he finds...
you can explore the concepts that are important in this problem. Astronauts on a distant planet set up a simple pendulum of length 1.20 m. The pendulum executes simple harmonic motion and makes 100 complete oscillations in 450 s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?
