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 = 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 = m * g₁ =
w₁
⇒Weight of probe on Mars = Weight of probe on earth
Answer:
The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :
Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and
is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :
...... (1)
Acceleration of Zak's is :
.......(2)
Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :
So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.
