You have landed on an unknown planet, Newtonia, and want to know what objects will weigh there. You find that when a certain tool is pushed on a frictionless horizontal surface by a 12.0 N force, it moves 16.4 m in the first 2.50 s, starting from rest. You next observe that if you release this tool from rest at 10.3 m above the ground, it takes 2.88 s to reach the ground.What does the tool weigh on Newtonia (in N)?What would it weigh on Earth (in N)?

Answer:

[tex]w'=5.679\ N[/tex] on the planet

[tex]w=22.43\ N[/tex] on earth

Explanation:

Given:

  • initial velocity of the tool before pushing, [tex]u=0\ m.s^{-1}[/tex]
  • force applied on the tool, [tex]F=12\ N[/tex]
  • displacement of the tool, [tex]s=16.4\ m[/tex]
  • time taken for the displacement, [tex]t=2.5\ s[/tex]
  • height of releasing  the tool, [tex]h=10.3\ m[/tex]
  • time taken by the tool to fall on the ground, [tex]t_v=2.88\ s[/tex]

Now using the equation of motion:

[tex]s=u.t+\frac{1}{2}a.t^2[/tex]

where:

a = acceleration of the object

[tex]16.4=0+0.5\times a\times 2.5^2[/tex]

[tex]a=5.248\ m.s^{-2}[/tex]

Now the mass of the tool:

[tex]m=\frac{F}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{12}{5.248}[/tex]

[tex]m=2.2866\ kg[/tex]

Using the equation of motion when the tool is dropped:

[tex]h=u.t_v+\frac{1}{2} \times g.t_v^2[/tex]

here:

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet

[tex]10.3=0+0.5\times a\times 2.88^2[/tex]

[tex]g=2.4836\ m.s^{-2}[/tex]

Weight of the tool in the planet:

[tex]w'=m.g[/tex]

[tex]w'=2.2866\times 2.4836[/tex]

[tex]w'=5.679\ N[/tex]

Weight of the tool on the earth:

[tex]w=m.g'[/tex]

[tex]w=2.2866\times 9.81[/tex]

[tex]w=22.43\ N[/tex]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force, F = 12 N

distance, s = 16.4 m

time, t = 2.5 s

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Let a be the acceleration

use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

16.4 = 0 + 0.5 x a x 2.5 x 2.5

a = 5.25 m/s²

Let m be the mass of the tool.

F = ma

12 = m x 5.25

m = 2.286 kg

Now for vertical motion

h = 10.3 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 2.88 m/s²

Let the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is g'

Use second equation of motion

10.3 = 0 + 0.5 x g' x 2.88 x 2.88

g' = 2.485 m/s²

Let W' be the weight of the tool on that planet

W' = m g' = 2.286 x 2.485 = 5.68 N

Let W be the weight of the tool on the earth

W = m x g = 2.286 x 9.8 = 22.4 N
