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

Four of the wavelengths of the Balmer series occur in the visible spectrum (656 nm, 486 nm, 434 nm, and 410 nm). In which region

djyliett [7]

Answer: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum increases in wavelength and decreases with frequency in the following order

Gamma ray, X ray, Ultraviolet rays, Visible light, Infrared rays, Radio waves.

Since 397nm is greater than the value of visible spectrum, this shows that radio waves, microwaves and infrared wave falls in the spectrums of the wavelength value.

On a part-time job, you are asked to bring a cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m3 , length 92.6 cm and diameter 2.95 cm fr

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

48.4293354946 N

Yes

Explanation:

d = Diameter of rod = 2.95 cm

h = Length of rod = 92.6 cm

$\rho$ = Density of rod = 7800 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Volume of rod

$V=\dfrac{1}{4}\pi d^2h\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \pi\times (2.95\times 10^{-2})^2\times 92.6\times 10^{-2}$

Mass is given by

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=7800\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times \pi\times (2.95\times 10^{-2})^2\times 92.6\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow m=4.93673144695\ kg$

Weight is given by

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=4.93673144695\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=48.4293354946\ N$

The weight of the rod is 48.4293354946 N

The mass of the rod is 4.93673144695 kg which is light. So, I will be able to carry the rod without a cart.
