It moves at a constant speed.

It moves in the same direction.

Explanation:

As stated by Newton's first law:

"an object in motion which has no external force acting on it will continue its motion at constant speed or it will stay at rest if it was at rest".

This is also related to Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied to it: therefore, no external force means no acceleration, so no change in the motion of the object.

Therefore, only these two options:

It moves at a constant speed.

It moves in the same direction.

describes objects in motion that have no external force acting on it. On the contrary, all the other options involve a change in the velocity (either speed of direction) of the object, so they describe objects which are accelerating.

6. Mithra is an unknown planet that has two airless moons. A and B, in circular orbits around it.

Ainat [17]

The acceleration of gravity on Moon B is D) 0.25 m/s2

Explanation:

The data listed in the problem are not clear: find them in the table attached.

The acceleration of gravity on a planet is given by the following equation:

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

Here we want to find the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Moon B, which has the following data:

$M=1.5\cdot 10^{20} kg$ (mass)

$R=2.0\cdot 10^5 m$ (radius)

And substituting into the equation, we find:

$g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.5\cdot 10^{20})}{(2.0\cdot 10^5)^2}=0.25 m/s^2$

Explain why the roller coaster’s potential energy is greater at point 1 than at point 4.

lesya692 [45]

Point 1 is PROBABLY higher up than point 4.

Another possibility is that on the way from Point 1 to point 4,
a lot of people are falling out of the coaster.

We have no way to tell, because you neglected to show us
the picture that goes with this question. It's important.

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu

Deffense [45]

Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.
