Four seconds after an object is thrown down with an initial velocity of 20 M/S on planet X, it's speed is 80 M/S what is the acceleration of gravity on this planet? Can someone walk me through solving this equation? Thank you
Modern oil tankers weigh more than a half-million tons and have lengths of up to one-fourth mile. Such massive ships require a distance of 5.0 km (about 3.0 mi) and a time of 20 min to come to a stop from a top speed of 30 km/h. What is the magnitude of such a ship’s average acceleration in m/s2 in coming to a stop?
In a classic clip on Americas Funniest Home Videos, a sleeping cat rolls gently off the top of a warm TV set. Ignoring air resistance, calculate the position and velocity of the cat after (a) 0.100 s, (b) 0.200 s, and (c) 0.300 s.
A spaceship hovering over the surface of Saturn drops an object from a height of 12 m. How much longer does it take to reach the surface than if dropped from the same height on Earth? Neglect air resistance in both cases. [The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 91.6% of that on Earth, gSaturn = (0.916)g.]
