Introduction to Electrodynamics
- The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2. If a person can throw a stone 12.0 m straight upward on the earth, how high should the person be able to throw a stone on the moon? Assume that the throwing speeds are the same in the two cases.arrow_forwardAn ion's position vector is initially 7 = (-3,9 m )i + (-8.6 m )j + (-3.4 m )k, and 9.3 s later it is 7 = (-2.6 m )i + (7.3 m )ĵ + (1.0 m )R. In unit-vector notation, what is its average velocity during the 9.3 s? Number i k Units m/sarrow_forwardIn 20 minutes, Kara ran 2.40 km on a treadmill facing due east. Relative to the gym, what were her displacement and average velocity during this time interval?

Part (a) How high above the ground does the object go? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. h = Part (b) How long is it in the air in seconds? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. t = Part (c) What is the velocity of the object in m/s after 0.5 s? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. v = Part (d) What is the velocity of the object in m/s after 1.5 s? Numeric : Anumeric value is expected and not an expression. V = Part (e) What is the velocity of the object in m/s when it reaches the bottom? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
