A snowball picks up speed as it rolls down the mountain.<em> (D)</em>
Since the description includes acceleration ("picks up speed"), we know that the forces on the snowball must be unbalanced.
Answer:
(a) Ratio of mean density is 0.735
(b) Value of g on mars 0.920 
(c) Escape velocity on earth is 
Explanation:
We have given radius of mars
and radius of earth 
Mass of earth 
So mass of mars 
Volume of mars 
So density of mars 
Volume of earth 
So density of earth 
(A) So the ratio of mean density 
(B) Value of g on mars
g is given by 
(c) Escape velocity is given by

Answer:
false gravity is not considered matter
Answer:
has units of distance
has units of distance over time
has units of distance over 
has units of distance over 
Explanation:
Since the expression for the distance is:

then:
has units of distance
has units of distance over time
has units of distance over 
has units of distance over 
because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance. So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.
Answer:
The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s
speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s
The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;
Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁
then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.
v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)
v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂
v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂
t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

The distance traveled is given by;
Δx = v₁t₁
Δx = (8.5)(132)
Δx = 1122 km
Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
