The correct answer is
<span>B. if Earth rotated on an axis that was not tilted with respect to Earth's orbit
In fact, the fact that Earth's axis is tilted is the reason why the durations of day and night are different in every part of the Earth. If the axis was not tilted, we would have exactly 12 hours of day and night in every point of the Earth, for the whole year.</span>
Answer:
(a) 1.21 m/s
(b) 2303.33 J, 152.27 J
Explanation:
m1 = 95 kg, u1 = - 3.750 m/s, m2 = 113 kg, u2 = 5.38 m/s
(a) Let their velocity after striking is v.
By use of conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision = momentum after collision
m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v
- 95 x 3.75 + 113 x 5.38 = (95 + 113) x v
v = ( - 356.25 + 607.94) / 208 = 1.21 m /s
(b) Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2 m1 x u1^2 + 1/2 m2 x u2^2
= 0.5 ( 95 x 3.750 x 3.750 + 113 x 5.38 x 5.38)
= 0.5 (1335.94 + 3270.7) = 2303.33 J
Kinetic energy after collision = 1/2 (m1 + m2) v^2
= 0.5 (95 + 113) x 1.21 x 1.21 = 152.27 J
We have the equation of motion 
, where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.
Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 
Substituting
Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity
Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 and t = 7.82 seconds
Substituting
v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s
The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.
Answer:
Before sled starts to move it has a potential energy due to the elevation...and then that potential energy converted to kinetic energy due to presence of a velocity...the sled will continue to move if their is no resesive force...but however friction force is presence that cause the sled to stop....

Explanation:
- The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
- Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
- Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
- The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are force and mass.
- Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.
