Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so v_0=0. Replacing the given values and solving for g':

g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}. So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.

Which are examples of perfectly in elastic collisions
sweet [91]
Typical examples of inelastic collision are between cars, airlines, trains, etc.
For instance, when two trains collide, the kinetic energy of each train is transformed into heat, which explains why, most of the times, there is a fire after a collision. However, the momentum of the two trains that are involved in the collision remains unaffected. So, the trains collide with all their speed, maintaining their momentum, yet their kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy.
Another way to explain a train or a car collision is this: when the two trains or cars collide, they stick together while slowing down. They slow down because their kinetic energy is gradually lost. Still, they collide because they conserve their momentum.

The voltage V in a simple electrical circuit is slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. The resistance R is slowly increasin
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The current in the circuit decrease slowly .

Explanation:

Given as :

For the electrical circuit

The voltage V in the circuit is slowly decreasing

The resistance R of the resistor slowly increasing after heating

Now, From Ohm's Law

Voltage is directly proportional to the flow of current through circuit

I.e V ∝ I

Or. V = R × I

where R is the proportionate constant and this is the resistance of the resistor

whose property is to opposes the flow of current in the circuit

So, If R value more then current I reduces in the circuit

∵ Here in the circuit ,  The resistance is slowly increasing, so, current I is slowly decreasing .

Hence The current in the circuit decrease slowly . answer
