Answer:

Frictional force

Explanation:

The brakes of a car gets hotter than the brakes of a bicycle because more frictional force is expended in applying the brake on a car than a bicycle.

To brake a car, the concept of friction is usually adopted. Two surfaces that increases friction when they come in contact are used in braking.

Frictional force is a force that resists the motion of a body. This forces helps to have grasp of motion.

A car requires more resistance to motion to break it because it have more more mass and other component motions parameters.

A bicycle is lighter and will require little friction.

Some of the frictional force applied is converted to heat energy. The amount of this energy expended is proportional to the frictional force.

It turns out that Mercury and Mars have the same gravity as one another – that is, you would weigh the same on the surface of Me

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity of mars is same as that the value of acceleration due to gravity of Mercury.

The value of acceleration due to gravity of a planet depends on its mass and the radius.

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is given by

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

Where, M be the mass of the planet, R be the radius of the planet.

As according to the question, the value of acceleration due to gravity for Mercury is same as that of Mars.

$\frac{GM_{mercury}}{R_{mercury}^{2}}=\frac{GM_{mars}}{R_{mars}^{2}}$

$\frac{M_{mercury}}{R_{mercury}^{2}}=\frac{M_{mars}}{R_{mars}^{2}}$

As teh radius of Mercury is small, and acceleration due to gravity is same, it is possible because the mass of Mercury is more than the mass of Mars.
