The weight of an object <em>IS</em> the net force on it when it's in free-fall.

("Free fall" means that the only force acting on it is the force of gravity.
The force of gravity on an object is the force we call its "weight".)

AVprozaik [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}</h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x 10^{24} Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = \frac{GM}{r^{2} }

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g =  \frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24})  }{5733^{2} }

g = 12.12 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/s^{2}

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(10)²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(100)

KE = \frac{1}{2} (60000)

KE = 30,000 J

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.
