Answer:

D. location

Explanation:

The gravitational field strength of Earth is determined by the virtue of the location within the Earth's gravitational field.

That's why all objects regardless of their mass, shape, and size free fall towards the Earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration at that location in the absence of air resistance.

According to the gravitational force between two bodies, the force experienced by one body due to the other is independent of its own mass.

The gravitational force is given by equation

F = GMm/r²

If F is the force acting on the smaller body of mass 'm', then

F = ma

Therefore, the equation becomes,

ma = GMm/r²

a = GM/r²

The value of 'a' changes with respect to the value of 'r' such that if 'r' is the radius of the Earth, then the acceleration at a height 'h' from Earth surface is given by

a = GM/(r+h)²

Here it is clear that the acceleration at any point is only the inherent property of the Earth itself.

The gravitational field strength of Earth is determined by the virtue of the location within the Earth's gravitational field.

A container in the shape of a cube 10.0 cm on each edge contains air (with equivalent molar mass 28.9 g/mol) at atmospheric pres

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) m = 1.174 grams

b) F_g = 0.01151 N

c) F_c = 1013 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of a cube L = 10.0 cm

- The molar mass of air M = 28.9 g/mol

- Pressure of air P = 101.3 KPa

- Temperature of air T = 300 K

- Universal Gas constant R = 8.314 J/kgK

Find:

(a) the mass of the gas

(b) the gravitational force exerted on it

(d) Why does such a small sample exert such a great force? (6%)

Solution:

- Compute the volume of the cube:

V = L^3 = 0.1^3 = 0.001 m^3

- Use Ideal gas law equation and compute number of moles of air n:

P*V = n*R*T

n = P*V / R*T

n = 101.3*10^3 * 0.001 / 8.314*300

n = 0.04061 moles

- Compute the mass of the gas:

m = n*M

m = 0.04061*28.9

m = 1.174 grams

- The gravitational force exerted on the mass of gas is due to its weight:

F_g = m*g

F_g = 1.174*9.81*10^-3

F_g = 0.01151 N

- The force exerted on each face of cube is due its surface area:

F_c = P*A

F_c = (101.3*10^3)*(0.1)^2

F_c = 1013 N

- The molecules of a gas have high kinetic energy; hence, high momentum. When they collide with the walls they transfer momentum per unit time as force. Higher the velocity of the particles higher the momentum higher the force exerted.
