An Atwood machine can be used to measure the acceleration of gravity. On planet X, mass 1 is 15 grams and mass 2 is 10 grams. After taking readings the astronaut measures the acceleration of the moving masses to be 2.4 m/s2 Calculate the acceleration of gravity of planet X.
Concept: we apply Newton’s law of motion to to form equations of motion and solve them to find the acceleration due to gravity on the planet

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:
Very confused on how to solve 013 10.0 points An Atwood machine is constructed using two wheels (with the masses concentrated at the rims). The left wheel has a mass of 2.4 kg and radius 20.32 cm. The right wheel has a mass of 2.6 kg and radius 26.4 cm. The hanging mass on the left is 1.74 kg and on the right 1.53 kg. m. 4 What is the acceleration of the system?

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a modified Atwood machine if the mass of the cart is 3 kg and the hanging mass is 16 kg? (Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Express your answer to one decimal point.)
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a modified Atwood machine if the mass of the cart is 5 kg and the hanging mass is 7 kg? (Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Express your answer to one decimal point.)
Please help me with this question. Thanks A*36. An Atwood machine (Fig. 6.7) is used to mea- sure the acceleration due to gravity, with sus- pended masses of 0.50 kg and 0.55 kg. When released from rest, the masses move 75 cm in 2.0 s. Compute the experimental value of g. Compare this to the accepted value of 9.8 m/s2 and explain possible sources of error.
An Atwood machine is constructed using a hoop with spokes of negligible mass. The 2.3 kg mass of the pulley is concentrated on its rim, which is a distance 23.5 cm from the axle. The mass on the right is 1 kg and on the left is 1.65 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the linear acceleration a of the hanging masses?
The Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley can be approximated by a uniform disk with mass m, = 5.53 kg and radius rp = 0.150 m. The hanging masses are m = 17.1 kg and mp = 12.1 kg. Calculate the magnitude of the masses' acceleration a and the tension in the left and right ends of the rope, T and Tr, respectively. m m/s2 a...
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....
