Answer:
False
Explanation:
Gravity force is constant.
There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.
If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.
If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.
From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)
Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m
Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s
Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s
The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s
Answer: 283 s (nearest second)
If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.
Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).
The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂
