Answer:

The gravitational force is significantly constant.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is expressed as:

F= G*M*m/d^2

G= Gravitational constant

M= in this case it is the mass of the planet

m= mass of the rock

d= distance of the rocks from the ground (suppose both at the same height for better comparison)

At the same time, we know that the force that each rock experiences is equal to the product of the mass due to acceleration:

F=m*a

We can match both expressions for F:

G*M*m/d^2 = m*a

we simplify m, and we obtain that the acceleration is independent of the mass of the attracted bodies:

a= G*M/d^2

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. as it starts down the slope, its speed is 4 m/s. but 3 sec
Arisa [49]
Vi = 4 m/s
vf = 22 m/s
t = 3s
a = ?

vf = vi + a * t
vf - vi = a * t
a = (vf - vi) / t
a = (22 - 4) / 3
a = 6 m / s^2

Now put the names of the planets in increasing order based on their distance from the sun
Anika [276]
The eight planets of the Solar System arranged in order from the sun:

Mercury: 46 million km / 29 million miles (.307 AU)
Venus: 107 million km / 66 million miles (.718 AU)
Earth: 147 million km / 91 million miles (.98 AU)
Mars: 205 million km / 127 million miles (1.38 AU)
Jupiter: 741 million km /460 million miles (4.95 AU)
Saturn: 1.35 billion km / 839 million miles (9.05 AU)
Uranus: 2.75 billion km / 1.71 billion miles (18.4 AU)
Neptune: 4.45 billion km / 2.77 billion miles (29.8 AU)

Astronomers often use a term called astronomical unit (AU) to represent the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

+ Pluto (Dwarf Planet): 4.44 billion km / 2.76 billion miles (29.7 AU)

The illustration shows a rollercoaster and indicates four different positions the car might be at as it moves along the track. A
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Point a

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is given by :

P = mgh

m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.

Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.

In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well
