you push a ball to star it rolling along a "perfectly frictionless" surface. How far will the ball roll

The planet Mars has a mass of 6.1 × 1023 kg and radius of 3.4 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall near t

Oksanka [162]

The acceleration due to gravity of Mars is $3.5\ m / s^{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. But in the present case, the gravity need to be determined between Mars and the object on Mars. Since the mass of Mars is greater than the mass of any object. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational force of planet}=\frac{G M m}{R^{2}}$

Here, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of Mars and M, m is the mass of Mars and the object respectively..

Also, according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be equal to the ratio of force exerted on it to the mass of the object.

So in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity of Mars, divide the gravitational force of Mars by mass of object on the surface of Mars.

$Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{\text {Gravitational force of Mars}}{m \text { of object }}$

$Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{G M m}{R^{2} \times m}=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}$

$\text { Acceleration due to gravity of mars }=\frac{6.67259 \times 10^{-11} \times 6.1 \times 10^{23}}{3.4 \times 3.4 \times 10^{12}}=\frac{40.703 \times 10^{12}}{11.56 \times 10^{12}}$

$\text { Acceleration }=3.5\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Humans obtain energy in a number of different ways. About half of the electrical energy in the U.S. is generated by burning coal

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

How do the Sun, Earth, and Moon systems interact

Nataly [62]

The sun is the mother star of the solar system, which only emits light to half of the planet, while the other part is always dark.

The sun emits light towards the earth, which dominates all life on earth. The movements of the Moon around the Earth and of the Earth around the Sun are complex. Movements of rotation around their own axes are superimposed on movements of orbital translation. The Earth and the Moon rotate around their own axes: This is rotation.

How many joules of work are done against a truck when a force of 50 N pushes it 1 kilometer away

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Work = 50,000 J

Explanation:

Work = force * distance

Given that,

force = 50N
Distance = 1km = 1000m

Work = 50 * 1000

Work = 50,000 J

You drive a car east on the highway at 26 m/s. Another car passes you moving east traveling at 32 m/s. How fast do you view the

tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the car passing you is 6 m/s while car is moving 6 m/s behind the car.

<h3>Relative velocity of the car</h3>

The speed of the car passing you is determined by applying relative velocity principle as shown below;

Vr = Va - Vb

Vr = 26 m/s - 32 m/s

Vr = -6 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car passing you is 6 m/s while car is moving 6 m/s behind the car.
