Answer:
The objects can be distinguished by their weight instead of by mass.

Explanation
Because mass is constant, the two objects cannot be distinguished by mass.

However, gravitational acceleration varies in outer space. Therefore the heavier mass will register a higher reading on a weighing scale.

Note that an object of mass M weighs Mg, where g = acceleration due to gravity.

2) A skier stands at rest and begins to ski downhill with an acceleration of 3.0 m/s² {downhill). What is

Finger [1]

Answer:

337.5m

Explanation:

Kinematics

Under constant acceleration, the kinematic equation holds:

$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_ot+s_o$ , where "s" is the position at time "t", "a" is the constant acceleration, " $v_o$ " is the initial velocity, and $s_o$ is the initial position.

Defining Displacement

Displacement is the difference in positions: $s-s_o$ or $\Delta s$
$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_ot+s_o$

$s-s_o=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_ot$

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_ot$

Using known information

Given that the initial velocity is zero ("skier stands at rest"), and zero times anything is zero, and zero plus anything remains unchanged, the equation simplifies further to the following:

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_ot$

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}at^2+(0)*t$

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}at^2+0$

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

So, to find the displacement after 15 seconds, with a constant acceleration of 3.0 m/s², substitute the known values, and simplify:

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$\Delta s=\frac{1}{2}(3.0[\frac{m}{s^2}])(15.0[s])^2$

$\Delta s=337.5[m]$

Andrei [34K]

Answer: E. and Electroweak in 1961 the only other, as

Explanation:

This is more an English grammar question than a physics question, so taking that perspective, one should look for the answer that best completes the sentence.

Based on the word "first" in the sentence, implying the need for a conjunction to join the two theories and the last part of the sentence does not give a reason but further supports the determination of the theory being the first unified theory.

So, to complete the sentence, the best option is;

Maxwell’s theory of Electromagnetism in 1865 was the first "unified field theory" and Electroweak in 1961 the only other, as no further theory has united the electroweak field with either the Strong (Hadronic) force or Gravity.
