An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of +10 m/s and measures a time of 16.3 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet? (Indicate direction by the sign of the acceleration.)

In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. a rider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 15 ∘ from horizontal. the tension in the rope is 1900 n. the force of the sail on the rider is 30∘ from horizontal. what is the weight of the rider? express your answer with the appropriate units.

(a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? magnitude 3.33 m/s correct: your answer is correct. direction correct: your answer is correct. (b) is this collision elastic?
