02. Two projectiles, one fired from earth with 5ms and
other fired from a planet with 3ms at the same
angle trace identical trajectories. Neglecting friction
what is the acceleration due to gravity on planet
(g = 9.8 ms):
Answers
Answer:
Given:
2 Projectiles have been fired on different planets . The one on Earth is fired at 5 m/s and another one is fired at 3 m/s from another planet.
To find:
To find gravitational acceleration in that planet.
Concept:
Since the question mentions that the trajectories of the Projectile is same , we can say that the Projectiles will have the same range on both planets.
Calculation:
Let gravitational acceleration on the planet be g2.
Ranges are equal ;
So final answer :
Two projectiles, one is fired from earth with 5ms and another one is fired from a planet with 3ms at the same angle trace identical trajectories.
Neglecting friction, what is the acceleration due to gravity on planet.
Take g = 9.8 ms.
These two projectiles trace identical trajectory i.e, their range is same.
Let gravitational acceleration on the other planet be g2.
Placing values and equating, we get the value of g2 as 3.528 m/s^2
