Answer: The correct answer is option (C).
Explanation:
As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.
According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.
If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.

no its not like the undertow in the ocean
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.
Let Vector
is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.
In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity,
must be in the north direction.
Let
is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.
For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector
and head of the vector
must lie on the north-south line.
Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB




Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of
in the north of east direction.
