Answer:

Acceleration of the object on mars, a=3.75\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

The weight of an object on Earth is, W = 350 newtons.

The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let m is the mass of the object. Weight of an object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{350\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 35.71 Kg

The weight of the object on mars, W' = 134 N

Mass of an object is the amount of matter contained it. It remains the same at every location. So,

a=\dfrac{W'}{m}

a=\dfrac{134\ N}{35.71\ kg}

a=3.75\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the object on the surface of mars is 3.75\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

W = mg = 350 newton
m = W/g = 350/9.8 = 35.71 kg
on mars
W = mg = 134 newton
g = W/m = 134/35.71 = 3.75 meters/second2

If a 1 kg book has 46 Joules of gravitational potential energy how high is the shelf it is on?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4.7m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1kg

Gravitational potential energy  = 46J

Unknown:

Height of the shelf  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is due to the position of a body above the ground.

        Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

m is the mass,

g is the acceleration due gravity  = 9.8m/s²

h is the height which is unknown

                       46  = 1 x 9.8 x h

                       h  = 4.7m

A particle (charge = +0.8 mC) moving in a region where only electric forces act on it has a kinetic energy of 6.7 J at point A.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B is 7.9 J.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the particle is:

\Delta K = \Delta E_{p} = q\Delta V

<u>Where</u>:

K: is the kinetic energy

E_{p}: is the potential energy

q: is the particle's charge = 0.8 mC

ΔV: is the electric potential = 1.5 kV                                    

\Delta K = q \Delta V= 0.8 \cdot 10^{-3} C*1.5 \cdot 10^{3} V = 1.2 J

Now, the kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B is:

\Delta K = K_{f} - K_{i}

K_{f} = \Delta K + K_{i} = 1.2 J + 6.7 J = 7.9 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B is 7.9 J.

I hope it helps you!

Distance measurements based on the speed of light; used for objects in space
Vika [28.1K]

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation :  A light year is measurement  of distance  that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

and  time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is 9.4608\times10^{15} meter

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.
