Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plumes of matter over 500 km high. Due to the satellite's small mass, the acceleration due to gravity on Io is only 1.81 m/s2and Io has no appreciable atmosphere. Assume that there is no variation in gravity over the distance traveled.
a)What must be the speed of material just as it leaves the volcano to reach an altitude of 380 km?
b)If the gravitational potential energy is zero at the surface, what is the potential energy for a 33 kg fragment at its maximum height (500 km) on Io?
c)How much would this gravitational potential energy be if it were at the same height (500 km) above earth?
A car of mass 822 kg is traveling 26.4 m/a when the driver applies the brakes, which lock the wheels. The car skids for 4.47 s in the positive x direction before coming to rest. What is the cars acceleration in m/ s2? what magnitude force in N acted on the car during this time? How far in m did the car travel?
A man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg.
Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object.
If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s?
If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?

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.arrow_forwardSuppose you throw an object from a great height, so that it reaches very nearly terminal velocity by time it hits the ground. By measuring the impact, you determine that this terminal velocity is -49 mi sec.A. Write the equation representing the velocity v(t) of the object at time t seconds given the initial velocity v0 and the fact that acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/sec2.

Determine the value of k, the "continuous percentage growth rate" from the velocity equation, by utilizing the information given concerning the terminal velocity.C. Using the value of k you derived above, at what velocity must the object be thrown upward if you want it to reach its peak height after 3 sec?

- You drop an object of mass m from a tall building. Suppose the only forces affecting its motion are gravity, and air resistance proportional to the object's speed with positive constant of proportionality k. Let g denote gravitational acceleration (a positive constant). Express the total force in terms of m, g, and the object's velocity v, where upward displacement is considered positive. F = mg - kv Newton's second law tells us that force is equal to mass x acceleration, F = ma. Relating acceleration to velocity, rewrite the equation for total force above as a first order differential equation for v as a function of t. Denote v' as dv dt v(t) m(- dr) this is not an equation.

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, with μk<μs.

Find the acceleration aaa of the block after it begins to move.

- You've always wondered about the acceleration of the elevators in the 101 story high Empire State Building. One day, while visiting New York, you take your bathroom scale into the elevator and stand on it. The scale reads 189 lblb as the door closes. As the elevator moves upward the scale reading varies between a minimum value of 150 lblb and a maximum value of 239 lblb . What is the magnitude of the acceleration as the elevator starts upward? What is the magnitude of the acceleration as the elevator brakes to a stop?arrow_forwardA piano has been pushed to the top of the ramp at the back of a moving van. The workers think it is safe, but as they walk away, it begins to roll down the ramp. Neglect the friction between the piano and the ramp. If the back of the truck is 1.5 mm above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 26 ∘∘ , how much time do the workers have to get to the piano before it reaches the bottom of the ramp?arrow_forwardA rocket-powered hockey puck moves on a horizontal frictionless table.
