It turns out that Mercury and Mars have the same gravity as one another – that is, you would weigh the same on the surface of Me

rcury as you would on the surface of Mars, despite the fact that Mercury is smaller. Why is this the case?

Tamiku [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity of mars is same as that the value of acceleration due to gravity of Mercury.

The value of acceleration due to gravity of a planet depends on its mass and the radius.

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}

Where, M be the mass of the planet, R be the radius of the planet.

As according to the question, the value of acceleration due to gravity for Mercury is same as that of Mars.

\frac{GM_{mercury}}{R_{mercury}^{2}}=\frac{GM_{mars}}{R_{mars}^{2}}

\frac{M_{mercury}}{R_{mercury}^{2}}=\frac{M_{mars}}{R_{mars}^{2}}

As teh radius of Mercury is small, and acceleration due to gravity is same, it is possible because the mass of Mercury is more than the mass of Mars.

Fed [463]

Answer:

the correct one is b

the difference between the final moment and the initial moment

Explanation:

The momentum is related to the moment

          I = ΔP

          ∫ F dt = p_f - p₀

where p_f and p₀ are the final and initial moments, respectively

When checking the different answers, the correct one is b

the difference between the final moment and the initial moment

A car is rounding a 100-m-radius curve at 25 m/s.What is the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

Explanation:

if the μ is the coefficient of static friction and R is radius of the curve and v is the speed of the car then, one thing we know is that along the curve, the frictional force, f will be equal to the centripedal force, Fc and this relation is :

Fc = f

m×(v^2)/(R) = μ×m×g

    (v^2)/(R) = g×μ

               μ = (v^2)/(R×g)

                  =  ((25)^2)/((100)×(9.8))

                  = 0.64

Therefore, the minimum possible coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.64.

The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

Explanation:

The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal

axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.

When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.

From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below

t1 = -

t2 = +

t3 = +

t4 = -

t5 = 0

A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).
