Answer:

B. South Pole.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

F = \frac {Gm_1m_2} {r^2}

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_1, m_2, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

<em>In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.</em>

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

Why car speed is not considered as car velocity?​
grigory [225]

Answer:

Cause its scalar quantity

Explanation:

since speed does not take directions into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. On the other hand, the velocity of an object does not take into account direction, thus making it a vector quantity.

LO NECESITO PARA HOY URGENTE!! 2. Exprese en metros las siguientes longitudes a) 48,9 km b) 36,875 cm c) 756,34 hm d) 9876 mm
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

a)48900 metros

b)0.36875 metros

c)75634 metros

d)9.876 metros

Explanation:

Hola, para resolver debemos convertir unidades utilizando equivalencias

a) 48.9 km  

1 kilometro = 1000 metros

48.9 x 1000 = 48900 metros

b) 36.875 cm  

1 centímetro =0.01 metros

36.875 x 0.01 = 0.36875 metros

c) 756,34 hm

1 hectómetro= 100 metros

756.34 x 100 = 75634 metros

d) 9876 mm

1 milímetro = 0.001 m

9876 x 0.001 = 9.876 metros

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 2.5 times what it is here on earth. An object weighing 347.9 N here on earth will
inessss [21]

Answer:  weight on Jupiter = 869.75 N

              mass  on Earth = mass on Jupiter = 35.5 Kg

Explanation:

W = mg

W = weight

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration [ on the Earth, g₁ = 9,8 N/kg ]

On the Earth,

G₁ = m x g₁  = 347,9 N

On the Jupiter,

G₂ = mg₂  

mass on the Earth = mass on the Jupiter !  

m = G₁ : g = 347.9 N : 9,8 N/kg = 35.5 kg

G2 : G1 = 2.5

G₂ = 2,5 G₁ = 2,5 x 347.9 N =  869,75 N
