- Three astronauts leave Cape Canaveral, fly to Mars and back, and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean. An Admiral bids them goodbye at the Cape and then sails to the Pacific Ocean in an aircraft carrier where he picks them up. Who has the greater displacement, the admiral, or the astronauts?arrow_forwardP.2) In this exercise you will see, from a different point of view, why the weight transfers toward the back when a car accelerates forward. If the car accelerates for- ward at 0.2g, then a force S must act, equal to 0.2mg. Imagine that the car, rather than riding on the ground, is traveling through space. In this case there are no positional constraints. We can ignore gravity since the car is in a zero g environment. Now imagine that a force S acts on the bottom of the tires, as shown, so that the center of mass feels an acceleration equal to 0.2gi. In the absence of gravity and the ground, calculate the response of the car, treating it as a single rigid body. What forces N1 and N2 must be exerted on the car to maintain zero rotational acceleration and zero vertical acceleration? How N1 N2 do these forces affect a car that's in contact with the ground?arrow_forwardWhen an object accelerates at 9.8 m/s2 (or 32 ft/s2), we say it accelerates with 1 g. This is true whether the object is falling under gravity, or due to something else. Using the constant-acceleration approximation, determine how many g's are involved at Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster. According to the park, it goes 0 to 170 mph in 3.8 s on the horizontal track, before turning up vertically. Round the final answer to three decimal places.arrow_forward

Question A: Calculate the constant acceleration necessary to achieve this ball velocity. Give your answer in m/s^2 Question B: How many g's is this? (By what factor would you need to multiply Earth's gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2 to achive the same acceleration?arrow_forwardOn the surface of planet X, a body with a mass of 10.0 kilograms weighs 40.0 newtons.

Which of the following is true? a. It falls because of the combined effects of gravity and air pushing downward upone it. b. It falls because of a natural tendency for rocks to rest upon the Earth c. It speeds up as it falls because of a nearly constant force of gravity acting on it. d. It speeds up as it falls because of an increasing force of gravity acting upon it. e. It quickly reaches a maximum speed, then falls at a constant rate.arrow_forward
