If Earth's mass was cut in half, what would happen to your mass? Group of answer choices
1 answer:
Answer:
nothing, mass is not affected by gravitational force
Explanation:
Weight is the gravitational force a planet exerts on a mass on the surface.
It is the product of the mass of an object with the gravitational acceleration that the planet produces.
The weight is the gravitational force
where,
m = Mass of the object
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Mass is the property that matter has which opposes the force being applied to it. It is intrinsic to the object itself and does not change according to the gravitational force. But, the weight changes.

Answer:
B) 27.3 m
Explanation:
The rock describes a parabolic path.
The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).
The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :
x = vx*t Equation (1)
Where:
x: horizontal position in meters (m)
t : time (s)
vx: horizontal velocity in m/s
The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis are:
(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀) Equation (2)
vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (3)
Where:
y: vertical position in meters (m)
y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)
t : time in seconds (s)
v₀y: initial vertical velocity in m/s
vfy: final vertical velocity in m/s
g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
Data
v₀ = 30 m/s , at an angle α=40.0° above the horizontal
v₀x = vx = 30*cos40° = 22.98 m/s
v₀y = 30*sin40° = 19.28 m/s
y₀ = 2m
y = 18.0 m
g = 9.8 m/s²
Calculation of the time (t) it takes for the rock to reach at 18 m above the ground
We replace data in the equation (2)
(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)
(vfy)² = (19.28)² - 2(9.8)(18- 2)
(vfy)² = 371.86 - 313.6
(vfy)² = 58.26
vfy = 7.63 m/s
We replace vfy = 7.63 m/s in the equation (2)
vfy = v₀y - gt
7.63 = 19.28 - (9.8)(t)
(9.8)(t) = 11.65
t = 11.65 / (9.8)
t = 1.19 s
Horizontal distance from where the rock was thrown to the window
We replace t = 1.19 s , in the equation (1)
x = vx*t
x = (22.98)* ( 1.19 )
x = 27.3 m
