Answer:

option D

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D

Potential energy of an object is because of its location.

Expression of potential energy

P E = m g H

where H is the height of the object.

g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²

m is the mass of the object.

Potential energy is directly proportional to the location of the object.

If the height of the object is more than the potential energy of the object will also increase.

You weigh 580 N on Earth. If you were to go to Mars, where its gravitational pull is 3 . 7 11 m /s 2 , what would you weigh? (Hi

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

59.18 kg

Explanation:

use f=ma

f= 580 N

a = 9.8 m/s 2

weigh(m) doesn't change only force(F) changes

(a) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>

Explanation:

a) Acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,

G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m

Substituting,

$g=\frac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(6.957\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274.21m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²

b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²

Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95

Weight = mg

Factor of increase in weight = 27.95

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow light?

topjm [15]

The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength of light, with shorter wavelengths being diffracted at a greater angle than longer ones (in effect, blue and violet<span> light are diffracted at a larger angle than is red light).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
