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

The weight of a space probe on the surface of Mars is about:a. nine times greater than its weight on Earth’s surface.b. three times greater than its weight on Earth’s surface.c. one-third its weight on Earth’s surface.d. the same as its weight on Earth’s surface.

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

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>

Driving along a boring stretch of interstate in Illinois, you start experimenting using the average speed equation you learned i
astra-53 [7]
The average speed would be 33.29m/s.
The average speed equation is:

Average speed =  \frac{total distance}{total time}

First you will need to solve for the distance you traveled in each scenario. So we can solve this by getting the product of speed and the time traveled. 

Scenario 1:
Speed = 29m/s
Time = 120s
Distance = ?

Distance = (29m/s)(120s)
               = 3,480m

Scenario 2
Speed = 35m/s
Time = 300s
Distance = ? 

Distance = (35m/s)(300s)
               = 10,500m

Now that you have the distance of both, you can solve for your average speed. 

Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}
                                = \frac{3,480m+10,500m}{120s+300s}
                                = \frac{13,980m}{420s}
                                = 33.29m/s
