The path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the sa

me mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force. What statement accurately compares these two events? A) The meteors fall at the same rate since they have the same mass. B) The meteor falls to Earth faster due to its greater gravitational force. C) The meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force. D) The meteor falls to Jupiter at a faster rate due to its thinner atmosphere.

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.

If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.

A spring whose spring constant is 270 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.02585 BTU

Explanation:

Given: Spring constant, k = 270 lbf/in

Initial force, f =100 lbf

Compression, x = 1 in

Work done can be calculated as follows:

W = \int {(f+kx)} \, dx \\W = fx + \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\W= (100 lbf)(1 in)+ \frac{1}{2}(270 lbf/in)(1 in)^2\\W= 100+135 = 235 lbf in\\W=235 \times 0.00011 BTU = 0.02585 BTU
