Answer:
gₓ = 23.1 m/s²
Explanation:
The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:
where,
W = Weight of the object on surface of earth
m = mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth
Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:
where,
Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N
m = mass of object = 1.5 kg
gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?
Therefore,
<u>gₓ = 23.1 m/s²</u>
Answer:
6.136 mm
Explanation:
given,
frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz
speed of sound = 343 m/s
smallest insect bat can hear will be equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat make.
λ = 6.136 mm
so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm
<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />
According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
