The amount of gravity between 1kg of lead and Earth is ___ the amount of gravity between 1kg of marshmallows and Earth.

1 answer:

3 0

The amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the same as the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportionate to the product of masses of the interacting objects and inversely proportionate to its distance squared between them.

Since the mass of Earth is very high compared to the mass of the other objects, be it lead or marshmallows, and the distance will be mostly same. Thus, there will be no change in the amount of gravity acting between them. Thus, the amount of gravity between 1 kg of lead and Earth is the same as the amount of gravity between 1 kg of marshmallows and Earth.

Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in the attached figure. They "push off" and travel directly away from each other,

Tema [17]

By definition, the momentum is given by:
p = m * v
Where,
m = mass
v = speed.
On the other hand,
F = m * a
Where,
m = mass
a = acceleration:
For the boy we have:
p1 = m * v
p1 = (F / a) * v
p1 = ((710) / (9.81)) * (0.50)
p1 = 36.19 Kg * (m / s)
For the girl we have:
p2 = m * v
p2 = (F / a) * v
p2 = ((480) / (9.81)) * (v)
p2 = 48.93 * v Kg * (m / s)
Then, we have:
p1 + p2 = 0
36.19 + 48.93 * v = 0
Clearing v:
v = - (36.19) / (48.93)
v = -0.74 m / s (negative because the velocity is in the opposite direction of the boy's)
Answer:
the girl's velocity in m / s after they push off is -0.74 m / s

two toy cars can roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Car A is a 5 kg. Car B is 0.5 kg. Both cars start from rest. Equ

Llana [10]

Answer:

A. The momentum of car A(5kg) is EQUAL to that of car B(0.5)

Explanation:

The moment, or impulse formula of the same forces acting on both car within 1 second is

$\Delta p = F * \Delta t$

In our case the forces are the same, the time duration of force acting on the cars are the same. Therefore, their momentum right after the force must also be the same.

What causes differences in air pressure around the Earth?

Olegator [25]

Wind is primarily driven by differences in air pressure. These variations in air pressure are due to temperature differences caused by variations in solar energy received at the surface of the Earth.
