Answer: C. Your mass would decrease.

I think this because If the pull is less than on earth we could jump higher which means that we have a lower mass. According to my research an average person is 6.39 kg on mars.

The planet Mars has much less gravitational force than Earth. So if you went to Mars your weight would decrease.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Weight = mass * gravity, hence the mass of the object remains the same at earth and at Mars. When it comes to weight, it depends upon gravity of the location.

Hence at earth, due to high gravity compared to mars, the weight value will be high, whereas when it comes to mars, due to low gravity, the weight will decrease but the mass remains the same.

A coin 15.0 mm in diameter is placed 15.0 cm from a spherical mirror. The coin's image is 5.0 mm in diameter and is erect. Is th

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

15 cm

Explanation:

$h_{o}$ = Diameter of the coin = 15 mm

$h_{i}$ = Diameter of the image of coin = 5 mm

$d_{o}$ = distance of the coin from mirror = 15 cm

$d_{i}$ = distance of the image of coin from mirror = ?

Using the equation

$\frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = \frac{- h_{i}}{h_{o}}$

$\frac{d_{i}}{15} = \frac{- (5)}{15}$

$d_{i}$ = - 5 cm

$R$ = radius of curvature

Using the mirror equation

$\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{2}{R}$

$\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{- 5} = \frac{2}{R}$

$R$ = - 15 cm

Which statement best explains the speed of light waves as they travel from gas to solid?

igomit [66]

Answer:

Light waves slow down as they travel from gas to solid.

Explanation:

The speed of light is often quoted with reference to a vacuum. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and in a gas.

When light travels through other media such as solids or liquids, the speed of light is decreased due to absorption and scattering of photons by molecules as well as remissions.

Hence the speed of light decreases from gas to solid.

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 3.2 MW. What is the intensity of

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$I=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity is related to the power and surface area by $I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$ . We need to calculate the surface area of a sphere of radius r=4.3ly.

Since 4.3ly is the distance light travels in 4.3 years at 299792458m/s, we can obtain it in meters by doing:

$r=vt=(299792458m/s)(4.3\times365\times24\times60\times60s)=4.1\times10^{16}m$

So we have:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}=\frac{3.2\times10^6W}{4\pi (4.1\times10^{16}m)^2}=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

Elena L [17]

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

$a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}$

$a=\frac{11-7}{8}$

$a=\frac{4}{8}$

$a=0.5 m/s^{2}$

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

$a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}$

$0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}$

$v_{3}=19 m/s$

Small rockets are used to make small adjustments in the speed of satellites. One such rocket has a thrust of 42 N. If it is fire

Over [174]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

$F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}$
