The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s/s 

<span>So a 2 kg object will accelerate at 9.8 m/s/s if it is dropped..... actually all dropped objects will accelerate at the same rate. </span>

<span>The force of gravity on the object is given by Newton's 2nd Law </span>

<span>F = m . a </span>

<span>F = 2 . 9.8 = 19.6 N </span>

<span>Now go to Mars , with a lower gravitational field strength. It only accelerates falling objects at 3.71 m/s/s </span>

<span>So the force of gravity on the object is F = 2 . 3.71 = 7.42 N </span>

<span>But the answer is (2) 2 kg, because the mass of the object stays the same and that is what you are asked for. </span>
<span>Someone was trying to be tricky.</span>

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

Sphere 1 with radius R_1 has positive charge q, Sphere 2 with radius 4.50 R_1 is far from sphere 1 and initially uncharged. The
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

capacitance of sphere 2 will be 4.5 times sphere 1

a ) when spheres are in contact they will have same potential finally . So

V_1 / V_2 = 1

b )

Charge will be distributed in the ratio of their capacity

charge on sphere1 = q  x 1 / ( 1 + 4.5 )

= q / 5.5

fraction = 1 / 5.5

c ) charge on sphere 2

= q x 4.5 / 5.5

fraction = 4.5 / 5.5

d ) surface charge density of sphere 1

= q /( 5.5 x A ) where A is surface area

surface charge density of sphere 2

= q x 4.5 /( 5.5 x 4.5² A ) where A is surface area

= q  /( 5.5 x 4.5 A )

q_1/q_2 = 4.5

The Earth and Moon are separated by about 4.0 10^6 m. Suppose Mars is [{MathJax fullWidth='false' 2.9 \times 10^{11} }] m from E
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

Why it is difficult to run fast in sand​
balu736 [363]
Running on sand requires 1.6 times more energy spent than running on hard surface, so the force applied by our foot on sand is less.
