Answer:
In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
Potential energy = mass x gravity x height
P.E = 4 x 9.8 x 3
P.E = 117.6 J
Answer:
The bus
Explanation:
a = (v-u)/t
Where
a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time taken
For truck to get its acceleration,
a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²
For bus to get its acceleration,
a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²
As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.
