Answer: The person will still have a mass of 90kg on Mars

Explanation: The Truth is, the mass of a body remains constant from place to place. It is the weight which is equal to {mass of body * acceleration due to gravity{g}} that varies from place to place since it is dependent on {g}.

In this case the person will have a Weight of 90*9.8 = 882N on Earth.

{ "g" on Earth is 9.8m/s²}

And a Weight of 90*3.3 = 297N on Mars.

{ From the question "g" on Mars is {9.8m/s²}/3 which is 3.3m/s²}

From this analysis you notice that the WEIGHT of the person Varies but the MASS remained Constant at 90kg.

What is diffraction?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

Force due to gravity. While JWST is in orbit, the Earth will be at a distance of 1.494 x 109 m from the telescope, and the Sun w
Alona [7]

Answer:

the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun is 37.785 Newton { leftward }

Explanation:

Given that;

distance of earth from the telescope r1 = 1.494 × 10⁹ m

and the Sun will be 1.49598 × 10¹¹ m further away

so r2 = r1 + 1.49598 × 10¹¹

r2 = 1.494 × 10⁹ m + 1.49598 × 10¹¹ m = 1.51092 × 10¹¹ m

mass of sun Ms = 1.9884 × 10³⁰ kg

mass of earth Me = 5.945× 10²⁴ kg

mass of JWST Mj = 6500 kg

What is the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun (strength and direction)?

the gravitational force of the sun will be attractive based on Newton law of gravitational force; so

Fjs = GMjMs / r2²

constant G = 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Force on the JWST by the sun will be;

Fjs = GMjMs / r2² { leftward}

we substitute

Fjs = [(6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(6500 kg )(1.9884 × 10³⁰ kg)] / (1.51092 × 10¹¹ m)²

=  (8.62587804 × 10²³) / ( 2.28287925 × 10²² )

= 37.785 Newton { leftward }

Therefore, the gravitational force JWST will feel from the Sun is 37.785 Newton { leftward }

A particle moves along the x axis from the origin. The magnitude of the position vector at time t is
Maurinko [17]

1) The average velocity is -2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2) The instantaneous velocity is 64t-260t^3

Explanation:

1)

The average velocity of an object is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

where t is the time.

The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is

x(6) = 32(6)^2 - 65(6)^4=-83,088 m

While the position at time t = 12 sec is

x(12)=32(12)^2-65(12)^4=-1,343,232 m

So, the displacement is

d=x(12)-x(6)=-1,343,232-(-83,088)=-1,260,144 m

And therefore the average velocity is

v=\frac{-1,260,144 m}{12 s- 6 s}=-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2)

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.

The position vector is

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:

v(t) = x'(t) = 2\cdot 32 t - 4\cdot 65 t^3 = 64t - 260 t^3

Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.

Which of the following statements about the conservation of momentum is not correct? Momentum is conserved for a system of objec
Olin [163]

Answer:

wrong statement :  Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision.

Explanation:

In a head on collision of two objects , two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . These two forces create two impulses in opposite direction which results in equal and opposite changes in momentum in each of them . Hence net change in momentum is zero. In this way momentum is conserved in head on collision of two objects.
