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}

1. Objects become electrically charged as a result of the transfer of
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Electron

Explanation:

An object can become electrically charged when it gains or loses an electron. Because an electron is negatively charged, when an object gains an electron it becomes negatively charged. Also, when it gives up an electron, it becomes positively charged. This positive charge is because the atom has one proton more than electron. In a neutral atom, the number of the proton is equal to the number of the electron. An electron is negatively charged, and a proton is positively charged.

Calculate the acceleration of a 1400-kg car that stops from 39 km/h "on a dime" (on a distance of 1.7 cm).
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a=-3449.67\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

The car is under an uniforly accelerated motion. So, we use the kinematic equations. We calculate the acceleration from the following equation:

v_f^2=v_0^2+2ax

We convert the initial speed to \frac{m}{s}

39\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=10.83\frac{m}{s}

The car stops, so its final speed is zero. Solving for a:

a=\frac{v_0^2}{2x}\\a=-\frac{(10.83\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(1.7*10^{-2}m)}\\a=-3449.67\frac{m}{s^2}

An airplane flies at airspeed (relative to the air) of 280 km/h . The pilot wishes to fly due North (relative to the ground) but
MrRa [10]

Answer:

the pilot should head the plane 7.547^{\circ} towarrds south- west

Solution:

The airspeed of the airplane, v = 280 km/h

The velocity of the wind, v' = 52 km/h South-west

Angle, \theta = 225^{\circ}

Now, measured angle in the clockwise direction from North:

sin225 = sin(\pi + 45) =  - sin 45^{\circ}

Now,

vsinx - v'sin45 = 0

280sinx = 52sin45

x = sin^{- 1}(\frac{52}{280}\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})

x = 7.547^{\circ} south- west

Which statements describe vectors?
laila [671]

Answer:

Vectors have a size and direction. Each of the existing vector quantity has a magnitude and a direction. Having direction along with the magnitude is the difference of a vector quantity from a scalar quantity. Vectors are indicates with arrows.

A cubic sample of a new kind of artificial tissue is subject to an increase in pressure of 160 kPa which results in a reduction
grin007 [14]

Answer:

0.82 MPa

Explanation:

the change in pressure 'σ'=160kPa

K= σ/∈Ф_v => σ/3∈Ф_L

K= 160/(3 x 0.065)

K=820 kPA=0.82 MPa

Thus,the bulk modulus of the tissue 'K' is 0.82 MPa
