Answer:

The gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

Explanation:

Gravitational Field Strength: This can be defined as the force per unit mass which is exerted at that point. its direction is the force exerted on a mass in a gravitational field. The S.I unit of gravitational field strength is m/s²

Mathematically, Gravitational field is represented as,

g = F/m ..................... Equation 1.

m = F/g ..................... Equation 2.

Where g = gravitational Field Strength, F = force on the mass, m = mass of the body.

From the question,

Note: That The mass of the object is constant both on the surface of the earth and on the surface of Mars.

On the Surface of the earth,

Given: F = 785 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting this values into equation 2,

m = 785/9.8

m = 80.10 kg.

On the surface of Mars.

Given: m = 80.10 kg, F = 298.

Substituting into equation 2

g = 298/80.1

g = 3.72 m/s²

Thus the gravitational field strength on the surface of Mars = 3.72 m/s²

Answer:

gexp = 3.65 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity changes with the altitude. The following formula gives the value of acceleration due to gravity at some altitude from the sea level:

gexp = g(1 - 2h/Re)

where,

gexp = expected value of g at altitude = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²

h = altitude = 2000 km = 2 x 10⁶ m

Re = Radius of Earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

gexp = (9.8 m/s²)(1 - 2*2 x 10⁶ m/6.37 x 10⁶ m)

What is the purpose of using a generator

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The purpose of an electrical generator is to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.

A generator is exactly the thing to use if you need more electrical energy than you have, but at the same time, you have access to something with more kinetic energy than you need.

If the work required to speed up a car from 11 km/h to 21 km/h is 6.0×103 J , what would be the work required to increase the ca

goblinko [34]

Explanation:

We need convert the velocities first to m/s and we get the following:

v2 = 21 km/hr = 5.8 m/s

v1 = 11 km/hr = 3.1 m/s

We need to find the mass of the car also for later use do using the work-energy theorem:

$delta \: w = \frac{1}{2} m(v \frac{2}{2} - v\frac{2}{1} )$

6.0x10^3 J = (0.5) m [(5.8)^2 - (3.1)^2]

m = 499.4 kg

Now we determine work needed delta W to change its velocity from 21 km/hr to 33 km/hr

v2 = 33 km/hr = 9.2 m/s

v1 = 21 km/hr = 5.8 m/s

delta W = (0.5)(499.4)[(9.2)^2 - (5.8)^2]

= 1.3 x 10^4 J

How could you keep an objects acceleration the same if the force acting on the object were double?

Bogdan [553]

You can keep an object's acceleration constant if the force acting on it is double by adding another force going in the opposite direction of the first force. The second force will have to be as strong as the first force was originally in order for the acceleration to be the same. This is the same concept as if you have 2 of something, double it to get 4, and subtract 2 again. You'll end up with the same value you started with.
