Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

Why the blood pressure in human body is greater at the feet than at the brain. please help!!!!​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The pressure of liquid column is given by p=hpg, where h is depth, p is density and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore, pressure of the liquid column increases with depth. The height of the blood column in a human body is more at feet than at the brain. Therefore, the blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than the brain.

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity
Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.
