Of all the planets in our solar system, Jupiter has the greatest gravitational strength. If a 1.5 kg pair of running shoes would
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

W = mg

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

W_{x} = mg_{x}

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}

g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}

<u>gₓ = 23.1 m/s²</u>

Examine the cross-sectional slice of a stem of a mint plant. Which statement most specifically describes mint?
Maslowich

The available options are:

Mint is a dicot.

Mint is a monocot.

Mint is an angiosperm.

Mint is a bulb plant.

Answer:

Mint is a dicot.

Explanation:

Given the fact that Mint is considered to be a member of Lamiaceae, an angiosperm plant which is characterized by typically having leaves that consist of reticulate vacation and appears like veins in structure. It also has a seed that contains two cotyledons.

Hence, it is considered a DICOT PLANT due to these characteristics. The botanical name of Mint is referred to as Mentha arvensis.

Which type of stress causes deformation that leads to earthquakes at converging plate boundaries?
ki77a [65]
The answer is <em>Compressional Stress
</em>

In geology, stress<span> is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. ... This is called confining </span>stress<span>. Compression squeezes rocks together, </span>causing<span> rocks to fold or fracture (break). Compression is the most common </span>stress<span> at </span>convergent plate boundaries<span>.

I hope this helped!! Have a great day :D</span>

If the distance between two charges is doubled, by what factor is the magnitude of the electric force changed? F_e final/F_e, in
motikmotik

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Coulomb's law for which the Electrostatic Force is defined as,

F_{initial} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q_{1,2} = Charge at each object

r = Distance between them

As the distance is doubled so,

F_{final} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{( 2r )^2}

F_{final} = \frac{ kq_1q_2}{ 4r^2}

F_{final} = \frac{1}{4} \frac{ kq_1q_2}{r^2}

F_{final} = \frac{1}{4} F_{initial}

\frac{F_{final}}{ F_{initial}} = \frac{1}{4}

Therefore the factor is 1/4

What is always true of a liquid's shape and volume?
Natalija [7]
Molecules of liquid are far away from each other but less compared to gas. Liquid has the ability to flow. Liquid molecules can move. Liquid occupies the shape of the container. Thus, they do not have fixed shape. Liquid has fixed volume because they are not compressible(easily)
