There is not enough information given to answer with. The force of gravity at the planet's surface depends on the planet's radius as well as its mass. The planet could have exactly the same mass as Earth has. But if it's radius is only 71% of Earth's radius, then gravity on its surface will be twice as strong as gravity on Earth.

Each of the rods depicted below were machined from same stock metal. They were originally machined to be the same length, but th
Shkiper50 [21]

The force required to extend a rod increases as the cross sectional area

increases.

The rod that experiences the largest force is <u>rod B</u>

Reason:

The elongation of a rod by the application of a force is given by the

following formula;

\Delta L = \dfrac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot E}

From the above equation, we have that the elongation is inversely

proportional to the cross sectional area, such that the extension of a rod by

a given force reduces as the cross sectional area of the rod increases.

Therefore, the force required to extend the length of a rod by a specific

amount increases as the cross sectional area of the rod increases,

indicating that the rod with the largest cross sectional area require the

most force and therefore, experiences the largest force.

The rod that experiences the largest force is the rod with the largest cross

sectional area, which is <u>rod B</u>

A block of ice is sliding down a ramp of slope 40 to the horizontal. What is the rate of acceleration of the block? Assume the f
uysha [10]

The given problem can be exemplified in the following diagram:

Since there is no friction or any other external force, the only force acting in the direction of the movement is the component of the weight of the block, therefore, applying Newton's second law:

\Sigma F=ma

Replacing the values:

mg\sin 40=ma

We may cancel out the mass:

g\sin 40=a

Using the gravity constant as 9.8 meters per square second:

9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\sin 40=a

Solving the operations:

6.3\frac{m}{s^2}=a

Therefore, the acceleration is 6.3 meters per square second.

A mass hanging from a spring is set in motion and its ensuing velocity is given by v (t )equals 2 pi cosine pi t for tgreater th
lianna [129]

Answer:

2(maximum), -2(minimum), -2(maximum).

Explanation:

V(t)= 2πcos πt--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Therefore, there is a need to integrate v(t) to get S(t).

S(t)= 2×sinπt + C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Applying the condition given, we have s(0)= 0.

S(0)= 2sin ×π(0) + C.

Which means that; 0+C= 0. That is; C=0.

S(t)= 2 sin πt.

The mass moves to its highest positions at time,t=half(1/2=.5) and time,t=2.5.

Take note that;  sin(π/2) = sin(5π/2) = 1 .

Also, the mass moves to its lowest position at time,t=(3/2); also, sin(3π/2) = -1.

Therefore, we have that 2 maximum; -2 minimum and -2 maximum.

Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.
