You are a space traveller and you land on a new planet. You launch a potato out of a pneumatic potato gun at an angle of θ = 40.8◦. The potato lands a distance R = 152.20 m away from the launch point (assume level terrain). Suppose the drag force is linear in velocity, that is, suppose the drag force is described by the equation F = kmv, where k = 0.246 s−1 is a constant. If the initial speed of the potato is 69.4 m/s, find the time the potato is in the air. Keep in mind the acceleration due to gravity will be different on this planet than it is on Earth.
What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?

Suppose you are a space traveler, and you land on the surface of a strange new planet. As stated in your Starfleet Manual, your first job is to measure the acceleration due to gravity, g, on this planet. You construct an "Atwood machine", which consists of two masses connected to a pulley by a string of negligible mass, as shown in the figure. One of the masses is m1 = 50.0 kg and the other is m2 = 39.0 kg....
)A cannon ball on a planet that is not Earth (i.e., does not have a gravity equal to Earth’s) is shot with an initial velocity of 50 m/s at an angle of 25o. It lands a distance of 262.3 m away from its launch point. Draw velocity v time and position v time graphs for the cannon ball.
You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed v0. The acceleration due to gravity is g. Take the origin at the launch point. Suppose that +y-axis is directed upward and speed v0 is in the +x-direction. a)How long after you launch the potato has it moved as far horizontally from the launch point as it has moved vertically? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables v0...
One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given distance. A lander vehicle on a distant planet records the fact that it takes 2.91 s for a ball to fall freely 11.80 m, starting from rest. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Express your answer in m/s^2. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Express your...
One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given distance. A lander vehicle on a distant planet records the fact that it takes 4.00 s for a ball to fall freely 11.54 m , starting from rest. A-What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Express your answer in m/s2. B-What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet? Express...
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...
You are on a new planet and want to know the acceleration due to gravity. You take a ball and kick it at an angle of 21.0° at a speed of 21.5 m/s. If the ball is in the air for 14.6 s, what is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity?
On Planet A you fire a projectile horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff 65.2 m above the ground, with an initial speed of 76.4 m/s. The projectile lands 43.8 m away from the base of the cliff-- What is the value of g for Planet A? On Planet B you fire a projectile from the ground at an initial speed of 61.2 m/s at an angle of 45.5 degrees above the horizontal. The projectile lands 31.3 m away...
On planet #4, you fire a projectile from the ground at an initial speed of 66.6 m/s at an angle of 48.4 degrees above the horizontal. The projectile lands 63.7 m away from the launch point. What is the value of g for planet #4?
l T-Mobile 9:15 AM a webassign.net Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one's birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force (in N) exerted on a 3.00 kg baby by a 130 kg father 0.250 m away at birth (he is assisting, so he is close to the child.) ) Calculate the magnitude of the force on...
