Answer:

\frac{2}{5}

Explanation:

Thinking process:

The weight of an object if defined as the gravitational pool on the object. This is the force that pulls an object downward. This is given as follows:

W = mg

where w = weight (gravitational pull)

           m = mass of the object (kg)

           g  = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is about 3.924 m/s². This is \frac{2}{5} of the acceleration on the earth.

Therefore, the weight of the object on Mars will weigh 2/5 of what it weighs on earth.

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation
Masteriza [31]
Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The electric field  can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.

A 21.7kg child descends a slide 3.5 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 2.2m/s. How much thermal energy due to frictio
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

How do we calculate the value of work?
Katarina [22]
The percent complete is calculated by dividing the quantity of material progressed at a point in time by the total quantity required for the project. The resulting percent is multiplied by the current agreed committed value of the material item to obtain the VOWD for that item.
