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

What is 16.558 m/s rounded to three significant figures?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves
Artemon [7]

Answer:

calculating displacement.

Explanation:

It's not true that displacement and distance would be the same always. Displacement is always smaller than or equal to distance as it is the smallest path between the initial and final point whereas distance is the measure of the total path covered.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of <em>heat by means of molecular excitement within a material without bulk motion</em> of the matter. 

Explanation:

Conduction heat transfer in gases and liquids is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during heir random motion.
