Compare your measurement to the generally accepted value of g (from a textbook or other source). Does the accepted value fall within the range of your values? If so, your experiment agrees with the accepted value. If not, describe why it does not. Make sure to calculate the percent error for the experiment.

1. Andrew and Kevin decide to try out the physics ideas that they are learning and take their baseball pitching machine and a baseball to a 96 feet tall local building. Based on what they have learned the height, s(t), of a baseball, thrown straight up with an initial speed of 80 feet per second from a rooftop 96 feet high is s(t)=-16t^2+80t+96 where t is the elapsed time that the baseball is in the air. The baseball that is pitched miss the rooftop on their way down and eventually strike the ground. a) What is the average velocity of a baseball from t=0 to t=2 seconds? b) What is the velocity of the baseball 2 seconds after it is thrown? c) After how many seconds will the velocity of the baseball reach zero? d) What is the velocity of the baseball t seconds after it is thrown? e) What is the velocity of the baseball as it passes the roof top on the way down?
(a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
Unreasonable Results Suppose you wish to shoot supplies straight up to astronauts in an orbit 36,000 km above the surface of the Earth. (a) At what velocity must the supplies be launched? (b) What is unreasonable about this velocity? (c) Is there a problem with the relative velocity between the supplies and the astronauts when the supplies reach their maximum height? (d) Is the premise unreasonable or is the available equation inapplicable? Explain your answer.
How do you solve this acceleration problem? a = F/m a = 2.27x10^5N / 4.0026u What does u mean? Thank you.
1. A scientist suggested that sending people to Mars using a 250-m long cannon would fire people in a space capsule using a speed of 11.10 km/s. What is the acceleration? Comparing to gravitational acceleration, what can you imply with the data? 2. A particle in a constant acceleration has a velocity of 11.20 cm/s in the positive x direction when its x-coordinate is 4.00 cm. If its x-coordinate 3.00s later is -8.00 cm, what is its acceleration (in m/s2)? 3. A boat with a velocity of 27 m/s approaches a marker 98 m ahead. Because of this, the pilot decelerates the boat with a constant acceleration of -2.80 m/s2. (a) How long does it take the boat to reach the marker? Choose the smaller value for time for a quadratic equation. (b) What is the velocity of the boat when it reaches the marker?
The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line isv(t) = ate−5t, where the speed v is measured in meters per second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared. What is its maximum speed, expressed as a multiple of a? (Do not include units in your answer.)

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384000 km. Suppose it accelerates at an acceleration 20.0 m/s2 for the first time interval 15 min of the trip, then travels at constant speed until the last time interval 15 min , when it accelerates at 20.0 m/s2 , just coming to rest as it reaches the moon. What is the maximum speed attained? What fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed? What total time is required for the trip?
If the ball could continue to travel below it’s original level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04s would be possible. Compare the balls position and velocity 8.00s after the start of its flight. (Answers c =178m. Y= 76.8m, Vx= 22.2m/s, Vy= -48.8m/s Both images have background information to help solve the practice problem. (The correct answer is also provided) just need help with working it out.
1. The population P of elephants in a wild animal preserve changes with time (in years) according to the equation dP - 0.0005P(190 - P)dt = 0. If there are 46 elephants initially, in how many years will the population reach 90? 2. For earth, let g and R be the acceleration due to gravity and the radius, respectively. If another Planet B has one-half the acceleration due to gravity of the earth but four times its radius, then the velocity of escape of that same object placed on Planet B is twice that on earth. (True or False)
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
