The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.
The gravitational force is:
F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.
Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:
a = GM/r²
id have to say its thunder
Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters
Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds
Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)
Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant. Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero. Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM. The required answer is: YES.
If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward. There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity. Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium. Too bad.
