Answer:
The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.
Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the object from the Earth's centre
We notice that:
- g does not depend on the mass of the object
- g is inversely proportional to r
This means that if the distance of the object from the Earth's centre increases, g decreases. So, the correct option is
The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.
Answer:
1. about 1.5 AU
2. about 5 AU
3. about 8 light-years
4. about 100,000 light-years
5. less than 0.01 AU
Explanation:
a. Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun.
b. Jupiter is about 5 AU from the Sun.
c. The star Sirius is about 8 light-years from the Sun.
d. The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light-years.
e. The distance from Earth to the Moon is less than 0.01 AU.
Note: AU is an acronym for Astronomical Unit and it is a standard unit by astronomers to illustrate the distance between the planetary bodies found in the solar system.
Answer:
his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s
final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m
time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s
The initial velocity is calculated as;
u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s
u = 44.694 m/s
The final velocity is calculated as;
v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s
v = 40.225 m/s
The acceleration is calculated as;

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²
Answer:
Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.
Explanation:
Force is rate of change of momentum.

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s
Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s
Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s
Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.
Answer: 68852 millijoules = 16.46 calories
Explanation:
Given;
Convert 68852 millijoules to calories.
1 calorie = 4.184J = 4184millijoules
Therefore,
1 millijoule = 1/4184 calories
68852 millijoule = 68852 × 1/4184 calories
= 16.46 calories
