<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

If F1 is the magnitude of the force exerted
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: 3. F1 = F2

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's law of Gravitation</u>, the force F exerted <u>between two bodies</u> or objects of masses M and m and separated by a distance r is equal to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance:  

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2} (1)

Where Gis the gravitational constant

Now, in the especific case of the Earth and the satellite, where the Earth has a mass M and satellite a mass m, being both separated a distance r, the force exerted  by the Earth on the satellite is:

F1=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}   (2)

And the force  exerted by the satellite on the Earth is:

F2=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}   (3)

As we can see equations (2) and (3) are equal, hence the magnitude of the gravitational force is the same for both:

F1=F2

An object with little mass won't require a lot of force to move.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects. Example: Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop.

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.
zhenek [66]
Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.
