What is an object’s acceleration due to gravity on earth?

The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the earth is right around

<h2><em>(9.81 meters per second) per second</em></h2>

<em>( 9.81 m/s² )</em>

It varies slightly at different places on Earth.  But it doesn't depend on an object's mass ... EVERYTHING falls with the same acceleration, because that's the way gravity works.  

If you see an object dropped and it DOESN't accelerate at that rate on the way down, that was only because of air resistance.  

(Many museums have exhibits where they have a sealed chamber made of glass, that you can see into but they pump all the air out of it.  Then a machine inside drops a feather and a rock at the same time, and they fall together and hit the bottom at the same time.)

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The mass of the Al-duckie should be 30 kg.

Explanation:

We will use the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU = m·Cv·ΔT

Since the specific heat of water is 4.185 J(gºC), the change in the water's internal energy would be:

ΔU = 100 kg · 4.185 J(gºC) · (42ºC - 38ºC) = 1674 KJ

Given that no heat is lost, all the internal energy that the water loses while cooling down will transfer to the duckie.  So, if the duckie has ΔU = 1674 KJ and its final temperature is the desired 38 ºC, we can calculate its mass using the first law again:

m=\frac{\Delta{U}}{Cv{\Delta{T}}}=\frac{1674}{0.9*[38-(-24)]}=30Kg

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 648 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 14 miles per hour faster
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

speed of the Jon visiting parents = 56 mph

           speed of the Jon when returning from home = 56 - 14 = 42 mph

Explanation:

given,

distance of Jon parent's house = 648 mile

avg speed when he was visiting his parent's house be 'x' mph

avg speed when he is returning from his parent's house be 'x-14' mph

total time taken = 27 hours

total distance = speed × time

648 = x × t₁

t_1 = \dfrac{648}{x}

648 = ( x - 14 ) × t₂

t_2 = \dfrac{648}{x-14}

t = t₁ + t₂

27 = \dfrac{648}{x} + \dfrac{648}{x-14}

1 = 24 (\dfrac{1}{x} + \dfrac{1}{x-14})

x² - 62 x + 336 = 0

x² - 56 x - 6 x + 336 = 0

(x - 56 )(x - 6)=0

on solving

x = 56 ,6

hence, speed of the Jon visiting parents = 56 mph

           speed of the Jon when returning from home = 56 - 14 = 42 mph
