The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earthâ€™s surface.

aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = $\frac{1}{3}$ g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = $\frac{1}{3}$ m * g₁ = $\frac{1}{3}$ w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars = $\frac{1}{3}$ Weight of probe on earth

What is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?

Alja [10]

The answer is C: water is drawn up a straw by cohesion and adhesion. Water molecules stick to one another and the walls of the straw, just like in a capillary.
Cohesion is the attractive force between like materials (between water
molecules).
Adhesion is the attractive force between twounlike materials (such as between
water and a solid container).
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise innarrow tubes or small openings as a result of adhesion and cohesion.
The liquid water molecules bind to the straw—a process known as adhesion. In the narrow space of the straw, the interaction of cohesion and adhesion causes theliquid to be drawn upward in the straw.

If you have a mass of 50 kg on Earth, what is your weight in Newtons?

Bond [772]

Weight on any planet is (mass) x (acceleration of gravity there).

Acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second² .
So weight of 50 kg on Earth is (50 x 9.8) = 490 newtons.

(That's about 110.2 pounds.)

Two ice skaters, paula and ricardo, push off from each other. ricardo weighs more than paula. part a which skater, if either, ha

ahrayia [7]

Apply the law of conservation of momentum for this situation. The law states that the momentum of a system is constant (in absence of external forces acting on it).

The 'system' in this case are the two skaters. There is no external force on the skaters. Suppose the skaters are initially standing still. The momentum in the system is 0. This value will need to remain constant, even after the mutual push (which is a set of forces from inside the system). So we know that

(total momentum before) = (total momentum after)

Indexing the masses and velocities by the first letter of the skaters' names:

$0 = m_P\vec v_P+m_R\vec v_R\\m_P\vec v_P = m_R(-\vec v_R)$

From the last row, you can see that the skaters will have momentum of same magnitude but opposite direction, after the push off. That answers the first question: neither will have a greater momentum (both will have one of same magnitude).

Since Ricardo is heavier, from the above equality it follows that

$m_R>m_P\implies|\vec v_R|$

In words, Paula has the greater speed, after the push-off.
