Answer:

On the surface of Mars:

Mass, m = 3.47 kg

Weight, W' = 13.186 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Mars, g' = 3.8\ m/s^{2}

Weight of book on the Earth's surface, W = 34 N

Now,

We know that:

Weight, W = mg

where

m = mass of the body

a = acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface = 9.8\ m/s^{2}

Thus the mass of the body on the surface of the earth, m:

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{34}{9.8} = 3.47\ kg

<em>Also, we know that mass is constant and it is the weight of the body that varies with the acceleration due to gravity.</em>

Now,

Mass of the body on the surface of Mars will be same and is equal to m = 3.47 kg

Weight of the book on the surface of Mars, W' = mg'

W' = 3.47\times 3.8 = 13.186\ N

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

pshyical change is a usually reversible change of a substance, as size or shape: Freezing a liquid is a physical change. Compare chemical change.

internal change is when the movement of the particles increases

specific latent heat is the amount of energy per kg (unit mass) required to change ice to water without change in temperature.

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.
