A group of objects that orbit a star is called a planet.

A small sized object that enlightens in the night sky in the infinite universe.

The group of objects is a large sized object which orbits a star called Sun.

This group of object is called planets.

Thus, a group of objects that orbit a star is called a planet.

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called

vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.

The planet Mars has a mass of 6.1 × 1023 kg and radius of 3.4 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall near t

Oksanka [162]

The acceleration due to gravity of Mars is $3.5\ m / s^{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. But in the present case, the gravity need to be determined between Mars and the object on Mars. Since the mass of Mars is greater than the mass of any object. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational force of planet}=\frac{G M m}{R^{2}}$

Here, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of Mars and M, m is the mass of Mars and the object respectively..

Also, according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be equal to the ratio of force exerted on it to the mass of the object.

So in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity of Mars, divide the gravitational force of Mars by mass of object on the surface of Mars.

$Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{\text {Gravitational force of Mars}}{m \text { of object }}$

$Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{G M m}{R^{2} \times m}=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}$

$\text { Acceleration due to gravity of mars }=\frac{6.67259 \times 10^{-11} \times 6.1 \times 10^{23}}{3.4 \times 3.4 \times 10^{12}}=\frac{40.703 \times 10^{12}}{11.56 \times 10^{12}}$

$\text { Acceleration }=3.5\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Vaselesa [24]

During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun. This completely blocks out the sun’s light. However, the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. How can it block all of that light?

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change

Verdich [7]

The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?
