(C)
Explanation:
If g is only 1/6 on another planet, then
Given the following choices;
A) less than your true weight, mg.
B) equal to your true weight, mg.
C) more than your true weight, mg.
D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.
The answer is; C
This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.
Answer:
It is direct proportionality. The greater the mass, the greater is the gravitational potential energy. The equation for GPE is : GPE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above the ground. As you can see GPE is directly proportional to mass, and height. KT.
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is a function of both the mass of your system and the mass of the thing generating the gravity field around your system.
The relationship is linear, which means that if you multiply or divide one of the masses by some number but leave everything else the same, you multiply or divide the potential energy by the same number. A 3kg mass has three times the gravitation potential energy of a 1kg mass, if placed in the same location.
