Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to explain why gravity is greater on Earth than on Mercury.

Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

(ASAP) would it be 125 m/s2 to calculate for her speeding up?
serg [7]

Answer:

0\:\mathrm{ m/s^2}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for acceleration:

\displaystyle\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}, where v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and \Delta t is elapsed time (change in velocity over this amount of time).

Let's look at our time vs velocity graph. At t=0 seconds, V=25 m/s. So her initial velocity is 25 m/s.

We want to find the acceleration during the first 5 seconds of motion. Well, looking at our graph, at t=5 seconds, isn't our velocity still 25 m/s? Therefore, final velocity is 25 m/s (for this period of 5 seconds).

We are only looking from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds which is a total period of 5 seconds. Therefore, elapsed time is 5 seconds.

Substituting values in our formula, we have:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-25}{5}=\frac{0}{5}=\boxed{0\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Alternative:

Without even worrying about plugging in numbers, let's think about what acceleration actually is! Acceleration is the change in velocity over a certain period of time. If we are not changing our velocity at all, we aren't accelerating! In the graph, we can see that we have a straight line from t=0 seconds to t=5 seconds, the interval we are worried about. This indicates that our velocity is staying the same! At t=0 seconds, we have a velocity of 25 m/s and that velocity stays the same until t=5 seconds. Even though we are moving, we haven't changed velocity, which means our average acceleration is zero!

For the circuit in the previous part, what happens to the maximum current if the frequency is doubled and the inductance is halv
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Following are the responses to these question:

Explanation:

Since the max^{m} is the current of ckt which depend on the reactance which   inductor that also enables the ckt and inductor resistance (X_L) for capacities

\to X_{C}=\frac{1}{W L}

for

\to X_{L}=wL

When w \longrightarrow 2w

L\longrightarrow \frac{L}{2}

then

\to X_{L}=2 w \times \frac{L}{2}=wL

 therefore, X_{L} remains at the same so, the maximum current remains the in same ckt.
