Jupiter is made of gas(like Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). What would happen to the strength of gravity if you
1 answer:
Answer:
a) The strength of gravity decreases if one moved away from Jupiter
b) The strength of gravity increases if one fell into Jupiter
Explanation:
The gravitational attraction is given by Newton law of gravitation as follows;
Where;
G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)
M = The mass of Jupiter
m = The mass of the nearby body
R = The distance between the centers of Jupiter and the body
From the equation, we have that the gravitational strength varies inversely with the square of the separation distance between two bodies
Therefore, as one moves away, R increases, and the strength of gravity reduces
Similarly as the body falls into Jupiter, R, reduces the gravitational strength increases.

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position
Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
12.5 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:
Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:
s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer
u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)
v is the final velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:
So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.
