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>

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Masa, m = 0.088 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Temperatura inicial = 30°C

Temperatura final = 120°C

Capacidad calorífica específica = 138J/kg.K

Calor absorbido, Q = 4400 cal.

Para encontrar la masa;

La capacidad calorífica viene dada por la fórmula;

Q = mct

Dónde;

Q representa la capacidad calorífica o la cantidad de calor.

m representa la masa de un objeto.

c representa la capacidad calorífica específica del agua.

dt representa el cambio de temperatura.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 120 - 30

dt = 90°C to kelvin = 273 + 90 = 363K

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

4400 = m*138*363

4400 = 50094m

m = \frac {4400}{50094}

Masa, m = 0.088 kg

Answer:

PART A

In a solid

The attractive forces keep the particles together tightly enough so that the particles do not move past each other. ... In the solid the particles vibrate in place. Liquid – In a liquid, particles will flow or glide over one another, but stay toward the bottom of the container.

In a liquid

Particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles.

A gas

The particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster.

PART B

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces. The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.

GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Solids have a variable volume and shape before it changed. Liquids can change in shape but have a fixed volume ( ex: water holding it’s shape in the cup until the person spills it )

Can a runner on a track be accelerating even if she is running at a constant speed why or why not
Lynna [10]
If the runner is running in a circular track then yes when something or someone is moving in a circular motion at a constant speed they are indeed accelerating. They’re accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing
