The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = \frac{1}{3} g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = \frac{1}{3}  m * g₁ = \frac{1}{3} w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars =\frac{1}{3} Weight of probe on earth

A tiger runs one kilometer. The tiger does 15,000 J of work and has a total power output of 500 W. How many minutes does it take
defon
Power is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. <span>As is implied by the equation for </span>power<span>, a unit of </span>power <span>is equivalent to a unit of work divided by a unit of time. The formula would be as follows:

P = W/t 

We calculate as follows:

500 W = 15000 J / t
t = 30 s</span>
