Answer:

Venus

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question, we shall determine the weight of the space probe on each planet to see which will correspond to 3560 N.

This is illustrated below:

For Mercury:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 3.7 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 3.7

Weight = 1480 N

For Venus:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 8.9 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 8.9

Weight = 3560 N

For Earth:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 9.8 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 9.8

Weight = 3920 N

For Neptune:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 11 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 11

Weight = 4400 N

For Jupiter:

Mass = 400 Kg

Gravitational force = 23.1 N/Kg

Weight =?

Weight = mass × gravitational force

Weight = 400 × 23.1

Weight = 9240 N

SUMMARY:

Planet >>>>>> Weight

Mercury >>>> 1480 N

Venus >>>>>> 3560 N

Earth >>>>>>> 3920 N

Neptune >>>> 4400 N

Jupiter >>>>>> 9240 N

From the above calculations, we can see that the weight of the space probe (i.e 3560 N) correspond to the weight on venus (i.e 3560 N)

What is the difference between distance and displacement? Give an example of a situation where distance and displacement both ha
Oksana_A [137]

Explanation :

Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.

When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.

What is the weight of a dog with a mass of 12 kg? Explain how you obtained your answer.
butalik [34]

Answer: 117.60N

Explanation:

Weight is a force. Therefore, we can use the force formula to find weight.

Formula: W=m*g

W = weight

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

W=(12kg)(9.8m/s^2)\\W=117.60N

Two brothers, Frank and Dion, are on roller skates and standing still when they push off from one another. Frank's mass is 103.4
tigry1 [53]
Around -3.5 ( might not be completely right ) Frank has a greater mass to he has a low velocity at first, Dion is around half of his weight so he doesn’t have to use as much force to get more than Frank
