On an alien planet (with unknown gravity), a 5 kilogram object is dropped froim rest 10 meters above the ground. In the atmosphere of this planet, the object is estimated to have a drag constant of -3 kg/sec. (Assume drag is proportional to velocity) The object takes 15 seconds to hit the ground. Use this information to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on this planet.

Q1 A balloon is rising vertically above a level, straight road at a constant rate of 2 ft sec. Just when the balloon is 60 ft above the ground, a bicycle moving at a constant rate of 17 ft sec passes under it. How fast is the distance s(t) between the bicycle and balloon increasing 3 sec later?
Use vectors to explain why it is difficult to hold a heavy stack of books perfectly still for a long period of time. As you become exhausted, what eventually happens? What does this mean in terms of the forces acting on the books?
In class, we used the 1967 gravity formula to derive the change in gravitational acceleration g with latitude, and we calculated the result at latitude o = 45°. Plot the rate of change of g with latitude () in units of mgal/km, from the equator to the pole (ø = 0° to ø = 90°). Be careful with the units; you will need to convert radians to km. (Recall that there are 27 radians in a full circle, 360°.) do
You are designing a roller coaster ride. The cars (mass m) start from rest at the top (height H) of a 45 degree incline. They pick up speed and complete the loop (diameter h). Assuming a frictionless track, how high must you build the start of the ride in order for the riders to feel wightless at the top of the loop? No values given, leave equations in terms of m, h, and H.
Wind blows and pasts a banner causes it to flutter. The fluttering frequency f is a function of the wind speed V, the air density ρ, the acceleration of gravity g, the length of the banner L and the “area density” of the flag material ρA (with dimensions of ML-2 ). In order to estimate the flutter frequency of a large banner with L = 40 ft in a V = 30 ft/s wind, a small banner with L = 4 ft is to be tested in a wind tunnel. (a) What is the area density of the small banner when the large banner has area density of 0.006 slugs/ft2? (b) What should the wind tunnel velocity be to test the small model? (c) It has been shown that the small banner flutters at 6 s-1 when the same area density and wind tunnel velocity are used in parts (a) and (b). In this case, what is the fluttering frequency of the large banner?
A block of mass m slides along a horizontal surface lubricated with a thick oil which providesa drag force proportional to the square root of velocity.F_d=-bv^1/2If v = v0 at t = 0, determine v as a function of time
Let's say that the semiempirical binding energy formula is Eb= aA-bA^2/3 - s(N-Z)^2/A -dZ^2/A^1/3 where a,b,s,d are constants. Imagine that you are in a different universe where there are 3 types of nucleons with spin equal to 1/2 and electric charges equal to +1, -1 and 0. Mass similar to that of a proton. Forces are similar to those of our universe. i) How do equations change for A and Z as a function of N+, N-, No and what is the semiempirical equation for the binding energy as a function of A, Z, and No? ii) At what Z and No do we have the maximum and minimum binding energy for every A? iii) When do we have stable nuclei under beta (β) decay? If "alpha particle" in this situation has N+ = N- = No = 2, what does apply for alpha (α) decay? iv) What does apply for nuclear fission and finally, how would life be in this situation?
Please do this specific question with these specific data as many have post it with different data! The ABC lift is at rest. You want to estimate the momentum that ABC exerts in C if the weight of A is 105 kg. AB is 12.15 m and weighs 400 kg, BC is 2.7 m and weighs 150 kg. Approximate AB and BC as evenly thick everywhere and homogeneous. Point A is 13.5 m above C in height and B is 2,025 m above C in height. A) What is the moment of force that ABC exerts in C if positive value is counterclockwise in the image? B) If AB instead weighs 150 kg and BC weighs 400 kg, but all other quantities are the same, calculate the torque in C.What is the moment of force that ABC exerts in C with these masses, if positive value is counterclockwise in the picture?
A block, as shown below, is sliding on a thin horizontal layer of water (u = 1.68 x 103 kg/m.s) between ice and the block with a speed of 13 m/s. The thickness of the water layer is 3.32 x 10-5 m.
