Recall that mass is the amount of matter present in a body. That means it's a property that is consistent regardless of the body's current location, gravity's pull on the body, etc.
Let's not confuse mass with weight (which is a force computed as Weight = mass x acceleration). Mass will remain constant and that means that whether the object is on Earth or on Mars, its mass remains the same. Thus, the object will still have 2.00 kg as mass on Mars.
Answers: 2.00 kilograms
F=dP/dt. So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force. So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop. If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)
change in speed = (37 km/hr) - (89 km/hr) = -52 km/hr
Acceleration = (-52 km/hr) / (6 sec)
Acceleration = (-26/3) km/(hr·sec)
Units: (1/hr·sec) · (hr/3600 sec) = 1 / 3600 sec²
(-26/3) km/(hr·sec) = (-26/3) km/(3600 sec²)
= -26,000/(3 · 3600) m/s²
<em>Acceleration = -2.41 m/s²</em>
We will have the following:
So, the heat to add is 3611.52 Joules.
