Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time. This means that as long as the forces are not zero, the velocity should be changing. The can be negative (as this is negative acceleration also known as deceleration) or positive (known as acceleration). It doesn't matter if they are decimals or fractions.

In order for acceleration of an object to occur, the sum of the forces must be anything but zero.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Based on Newton second laws of motion, the acceleration due to gravity of any object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. So, the sum of all the forces acting on the object will decide the acceleration attained by the object.

If the total forces are zero then the acceleration of the object will be zero. In case of deceleration, the net force would be having negative sign and thus increase in net force will lead to increase in acceleration. Hence, for the occurrence of acceleration, the total forces sum would be anything but zero.

There is a(n) __________ relationship between an object's weight and its mass.

Mkey [24]

There is a direct relationship between between an object's weight and its mass.

Weight is actually the force of gravity on the object's mass and it can be calculated by multiplying the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The higher the mass, the higher the weight and the lower the mass, the lower the object's weight. Thus, the relationship is direct.

which planet should punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given

Harrizon [31]

The planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>

Weight of Punch on Earth = 236 lb
Desired weight = 118 lb

The mass of Punch will be constant in every planet;

$W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g}\\\\m = \frac{236}{g}$

The acceleration due to gravity of each planet with respect to Earth is calculated by using the following relationship;

$F = mg = \frac{GmM}{R^2} \\\\g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

where;

M is the mass of Earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
R is the Radius of Earth = 6,371 km

For Planet Tehar;

$g_T =\frac{G \times 2.1M}{(0.8R)^2} \\\\g_T = 3.28(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_T = 3.28 g$

For planet Loput:

$g_L =\frac{G \times 5.6M}{(1.7R)^2} \\\\g_L = 1.94(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_L = 1.94g$

For planet Cremury:

$g_C =\frac{G \times 0.36M}{(0.3R)^2} \\\\g_C = 4(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_C = 4 g$

For Planet Suven:

$g_s =\frac{G \times 12M}{(2.8R)^2} \\\\g_s = 1.53(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_s = 1.53 g$

For Planet Pentune;

$g_P =\frac{G \times 8.3 }{(4.1R)^2} \\\\g_P = 0.5(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_P = 0.5 g$

For Planet Rams;

$g_R =\frac{G \times 9.3M}{(4R)^2} \\\\g_R = 0.58(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_R = 0.58 g$

The weight Punch on Each Planet at a constant mass is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\W_T = mg_T\\\\W_T = \frac{236}{g} \times 3.28g = 774.08 \ lb\\\\W_L = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.94g =457.84 \ lb\\\\ W_C = \frac{236}{g}\times 4g = 944 \ lb \\\\ W_S = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.53g = 361.08 \ lb\\\\W_P = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.5 g = 118 \ lb\\\\W_R = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.58 g = 136.88 \ lb$

Thus, the planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<u>The </u><u>complete question</u><u> is below</u>:

Which planet should Punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? Refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given to determine your answer.

Punch Taut is a down-on-his-luck heavyweight boxer. One day, he steps on the bathroom scale and "weighs in" at 236 lb. Unhappy with his recent bouts, Punch decides to go to a different planet where he would weigh in at 118 lb so that he can compete with the bantamweights who are not allowed to exceed 118 lb. His plan is to travel to Xobing, a newly discovered star with a planetary system. Here is a table listing the planets in that system (<em>find the image attached</em>).

<em>In the table, the mass and the radius of each planet are given in terms of the corresponding properties of the earth. For instance, Tehar has a mass equal to 2.1 earth masses and a radius equal to 0.80 earth radii.</em>

a major difference radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the _________ of the photons, which results in different photon

Aleks04 [339]

There is a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation with variable wavelengths and frequency, which in turn imparts different characteristics. ... X-rays and gamma rays have the same nature as visible light, radiant heat, and radio waves; however, they have shorter wavelengths and consequently a larger photon energy.

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm, weighs 150 N, and is to be

nadezda [96]

The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The physical force used to apply pressure to an object is defined as such. Per square inch of an object, a force is applied perpendicularly to its surface. For pressure, the fundamental formula is F/A. (Force per unit area). The Pascal is the unit of pressure (Pa).

The four different types of pressure are absolute, atmospheric, differential, and gauge pressure. Have you ever noticed that when you use a straw to drink something, the air actually gets suked out? In reality, you're applying "Pressure" as you drink the beverage.

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm

Let each face be A, B and C

The weight of the box = 150 N

Formula for pressure is

P = F/A

To find out which face of the box can withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm

we need find the area of each face and find its pleasure

Face A = 50 cm × 30 cm

Area A = l × b

= 50 × 30

= 1500 cm²

Pressure A = 150/1500

= 0.1 N/cm³

0.25 > 0.1

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face A

Face B = 30 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

= 30 × 15

= 450 cm²

Pressure A = 150/450

= 0.3 N/cm³

0.25 < 0.3

The surface could not withstand the pressure of Face B

Face C = 50 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

= 50 × 15

= 750 cm²

Pressure A = 150/750

= 0.2 N/cm³

0.25 > 0.2

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face C

Thus, The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.
