Answer:

Part a)

a = 1.62 m/s/s

Part b)

a = 3.70 m/s/s

Explanation:

Part A)

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is given as

a = \frac{GM}{R^2}

here we know that

M = 7.35 \times 10^{22} kg

R = 1.74 \times 10^6 m

now we have

a_g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(7.35 \times 10^{22})}{(1.74 \times 10^6)^2}

a_g = 1.62 m/s^2

Part B)

Acceleration due to gravity on surface of Mercury is given as

a = \frac{GM}{R^2}

here we know that

M = 3.30 \times 10^{23} kg

R = 2.44 \times 10^6 m

now we have

a_g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(3.30 \times 10^{23})}{(2.44 \times 10^6)^2}

a_g = 3.70 m/s^2

Phyics !!! Cannon ball question
natima [27]

Answer:

Zero; no force is required to keep it going

Explanation:

Since the cannon ball is fired into frictionless space, there will be nothing to stop it, so it will keep going and going.

A man is standing on the shore of a beach, up to his knees in water. Every second two waves hit him. What is the frequency of th
laila [671]

Answer:

f = 2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is defined as the no. of waves passing per unit of time. Therefore, the frequency of a wave can be calculated by the following formula:

f = \frac{n}{t}

where,

f = frequency of the wave = ?

t = time passed = 1 s

n = no. of waves passing in time t = 2

Therefore,

f = \frac{2}{1\ s}

<u>f = 2 Hz</u>

If a ping pong ball and a golf ball are both moving in the same direction with the same amount of kinetic energy, the speed of t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.
