A rock dropped on the moon will increase its speed from 0 m/s ( its starting speed when first dropped) to 4.9 m/s in about 3 seconds. What value do you calculate for the magnitude of the acceleration of gravity on the moon?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Acceleration, a = 1.64 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

A rock is dropped on the moon, its initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Its speed increases from 0 to 4.9 m/s, v = 4.9 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 seconds

We have to find the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. The magnitude of acceleration is given by :

Acceleration, a = rate of change of velocity

a=(v-u)/(t)

a=(4.9\ m/s-0)/(3\ s)

a = 1.64 m/s²

So, the value of  acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.64 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2
Answer:

Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change).

From the figures given in the question, the acceleration is ( 49/3 ) =

16.33 m/sec2

.

There's no way that this is happening on the moon. That acceleration is about 67%

greater

than the acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface. It should be about 83%

less,

or about

1.63 m/sec

2

.

I see the problem now. The '49' in the question should be '

4.9

'.

apex- 1.63 m/s2

Answer:

Nitrogen is an important element in the living things.

Compounds such as amino acids, DNA, proteins and DNA

Nitrogen is the most Abu can't gas in the atmosphere. It cycles from the atmosphere,to the terrestrial habitat and Marine habitat then back to the atmosphere.

Living things nitrogen from the nitrogenous compound.

Nitrate is formed when nitrogen combine with oxygen and it is called nitrogen fixation.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an important element in living things and it is important for life processes. It is the major constituent of DNA, protein, amino acids and Chlorophyii.

Nitrogen is released from the atmosphere to the root nodules of leguminous plants or to the soil by bacteria called nitrogen fixing bacteria . Nitrogen can not be absorb in gaseous form by plants because they are unreactive but they are converted to nitrates and ammonium compound.
