The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

Candle flame gases go up and not out, so your hand is okay with being next to the flame and not above it. You can also see the gases above the flame if you look. :)

The loaded cab of an elevator has a mass of 3.0 x 10 3 kg and moves 200 m up the shaft in 20 s at constant speed. At what averag
Alexeev081 [22]

The average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>mass, m = 3000 kg</em>
  • <em>height, h = 200 m</em>
  • <em>time of motion, t = 20 s</em>

The average rate at which the cable does work is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{E}{t} \\\\P = \frac{mgh}{t} \\\\P = \frac{3000 \times 9.8 \times 200}{20} \\\\P = 294,000 \ J/s

Thus, the average rate at which the cable does work is 294,000 J/s.

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
aksik [14]

Answer:

one-third of its weight on Earth's surface

Explanation:

Weight of an object is = W = m*g

Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s

Gravity on Mars = g₂ = \frac{1}{3} g₁

Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )

As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )

Put equation (2) in equation (1)

so

Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3

Weight of probe on Mars = \frac{1}{3}  m * g₁ = \frac{1}{3} w₁

⇒Weight of probe on Mars =\frac{1}{3} Weight of probe on earth
