I think that the shopping cart full of groceries has more inertia because it is the one with more tendency to do nothing or be still.

If both of these balls are traveling down a bowling lane at the SAME speed, which one would would have more kinetic energy?

Mariana [72]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Ball A has more kinetic energy</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that Kinetic energy is given by

K. E = 1/2 mv²

Since K E is dependent upon both mass and velocity so increasing mass will produce more kinetic energy if the speed remains constant

As the mass of ball A is greater than ball B so we can say that the kinetic energy of ball is more than ball B

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

$F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$

where:

$m_1 & m_2$ are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}$

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

$\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2$

where:

$g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}$

$g_x=$ gravity at height $r_x$ of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

$F=m\times g$

where: m= mass of the object.

The radius of the earth is 6378 km. What is the diameter of the earth in meters?

Nesterboy [21]

To determine the diameter of the earth in metres first multiply the original value by 2.

6378 X 2 = 12 756 km.

Then convert km - m

1 km = 1000 m
12 756 km = ? m

12 756 • 1000 = 12 756 000 = 12 756 000 m or 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m

The final solution for the diameter is 1.2756 X 10 ^ 7 m.
