Answer:

The person on Earth will have to exert more force to lift their block

Explanation:

The mass of the blocks to be lifted = 200 kg

The location of the first person = On Earth

The location of the second person = On the Moon

The force a person will have to exert to lift the block = The weight of the block = The gravitational force, F, on the block which is given as follows;

$F = \dfrac{G \times M_1}{R^2} \times m_2$

Where;

$\dfrac{G \times M_1}{R^2}$ = The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth or the Moon, depending on the location of the block

m₂ = The mass of the block

Therefore, given that the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth is larger than the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, the weight of the block on the Earth is larger than the weight of the block on the Moon, and the person on Earth have to exert more force to lift the heavier weight of the block on Earth than the person on the Moon will have to exert to lift the same block as the block has a lower weight on the Moon due to lower acceleration due to gravity on the Moon.

The answer is A) decrease

Take pushing a box, for example-- You push your hardest then give out, still trying to push the box. You are doing less work than what you have started with!

A peregrine falcon dives at a pigeon. The falcon starts with zero downward velocity and falls with the acceleration of gravity.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

t = 3.94 s

Explanation:

This can be modeled as a case of free fall motion. Because, the falcon is going down with acceleration, that is equal to acceleration due to gravity. To find the time taken by the falcon to intercept the pigeon, we will use second equation of motion for vertical direction:

$h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where,

h = height = 76 m

vi = initial speed of falcon = 0 m/s

t = time required = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$76\ m = (0\ m/s)(t) + \frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{(2)(76\ m)}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\t = \sqrt{ 15.49\ s^2}\\$

Answer:

The ball travels with a speed of 1.96 m/s in a North East direction

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have that

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v$

Since this problem involves motion in both the x and y coordinates, we will solve it in the separate coordinates, and then find the resultant as our answer.

Momentum in the x- direction

in the x direction, $v_{2}= 0$ . this makes $m_{2}v_{2}=0$
