The weight of an object on a planet depends not only on its mass but also on its distance from the planets center this table lis

ts weight of 80 kg on each planet in the solar system Uranus has more than 14 times as much mass as earth yet the gravitational force is less explain how this could be

You just pointed out that the gravitational force also depends
on the distance from the planet's center. The radius of Uranus
is about 4 times the Earth's radius.  That fact alone means that
the gravitational force on the surface is 1/4² = 1/16 its value on
Earth's surface.  So increasing the planet's mass by a factor of
14 doesn't compensate for the 1/16 reduction, and the gravitational
force on Uranus is less than on Earth.

(b) Released from rest at the same height, a can of frozen juice rolls to the bottom of the same hill. What is the translational
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) using the energy conservation  equation

mgh = 0.5mv^2 + 0.5Iω^2

I(moment of inertia) (basket ball) = (2/3)mr^2

mgh = 0.5mv^2 + 0.5( 2/3mr^2) ( v^2/r^2)

gh = 1/2v^2 + 1/3v^2

gh = v^2( 5/6)

v =  \sqrt{\frac{6gh}{5} }

putting the values we get

6.6 ^{2} = \frac{6\times9.8h}{5}

solving for h( height)

h = 3.704 m apprx

b) velocity of solid cylinder

mgh = 0.5mv^2 + 0.5( mr^2/2)( v^2/r^2) where ( I ofcylinder = mr^2/2)

g*h = 1/2v^2 + 1/4v^2

g*h = 3/4v^2

putting the value of h and g we get

v= = 6.957 m/s apprx

Which of the following is TRUE regarding Softball?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

There are two popular forms of softball, distinguished by the type of pitch.

Explanation:

Softball refers to a kind of sports that is similar to baseball in terms of game play but softball is played with a larger ball. The game of softball was first introduced as an indoor game in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America in the year 1887. Also, the field for playing softball is relatively smaller than that of baseball and as such its game play is quite faster.

Some of the kits and paraphernalia used for playing softball are base, bat, softball, gloves, jerseys etc.

There are two (2) main types of softball game and these are;

I. Fast-pitch softball.

II. Slow-pitch softball.

Hence, the true statement regarding softball is that, there are two popular forms of softball, distinguished by the type of pitch.

A block of mass M1 = 288.0 kg sits on an inclined plane and is connected to a bucket with a massless string over a massless and
AlekseyPX

Answer:

M2 = 278.06 kg

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of M1

W=m*g

Where

m: mass (kg)

g: acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

W₁=288* 9.8= 2822.4 N

Look at the attached graphic

We calculate the x-y components of the weight :

W₁x= 2822.4*sin41° N =1851.66 N

W₁y= 2822.4 *cos41° N = 2130.09 N

We apply Newton's first law for the balance in M1:

Σ Fy=0

Fn-W₁y=0  ,   Fn: normal force

Fn=W₁y=2130.09N

Friction Force = Ff=μs *Fn = 0.41*2130.09 =873.34 N

Σ Fx=0

T- W₁x- Ff=0

T= 1851.66 + 873.34

T= 1851.66 + 873.34

T=2725 N

We apply Newton's first law for the balance in M2:

Σ Fy=0

T- W₂ =0

W₂ = T = 2725 N

W₂ = M2*g

M2 = W₂/g

M2 = 2725/9.8

M2 = 278.06 kg

How does incident light that falls on an object affect the motion of electrons in the atoms of the object?
KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

Incident light makes an electron oscillate. The electrons emit light or absorb the light, collide with other electrons, thereby converting light energy to more internal energy. and convert it to heat.

Light wave of a given frequency is incident on a material with electrons having the same vibrational frequencies, then electrons absorb the energy of the light wave and transform it into vibrational motion.
