Answer: The more massive one will have larger kinetic energy.

Explanation:

We know that when we drop an object, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

And to get the velocity, we need to integrate over time, to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial speed of the object.

You can see that the mass of the object does not affect the velocity of it.

Then when we drop two marbles of different masses from the same height, we know that the final velocity of them will be equal.

Now, we also know that the kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass, and v is the velocity.

Then the kinetic energy of the marble with less mass can be written as:

k = (m/2)*v^2

And the kinetic energy for the more massive one is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

And we know that both of them have the same velocity, and M is larger than m, then we can conclude that the marble with larger mass will have larger kinetic energy.

5. The force of gravity acting on the object is object’s ______________.
Dima020 [189]

I think it's mass...

The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object; the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object. Mass is related to how much stuff is there and weight is related to the pull of the Earth (or any other planet) upon that stuff.

The absolute magnitude of a star________.
serg [7]
<span>The absolute magnitude of a star is how bright it would appear to us
if it were located ten parsecs (about 32.6 light years) from us.  So it's
a way of treating all stars equally ... on a "level playing field" ... and it
describes each star's actual brightness. </span>

A thermometer is placed directly sunlight will it read the temperature of the air or of the sun or of something else??
Norma-Jean [14]
It will read the temperature of the atmosphere.It is unable to read the temperature of the sun because some of the heat energy from the sun is absorbed by the layer of air molecules on Earth.
