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.

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.
