Answer:

B. The mass of Mars is less than the mass of Earth.

Explanation:

Mass of an object is the constant anywhere in the universe.

The weight of an object is equal to the gravitational force acting on it.

Weight is given by

W=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow W=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}m\\\Rightarrow W=mg

where

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of Planet

R = Radius of planet

m = Mass of object

g = Acceleration due to gravity

So weight of an object depends on the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. The acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass and radius of the planet.

The weight of the object is less on Mars because mars has less mass compared to Earth.

A tetrahedron has an equilateral triangle base with 25.0-cm-long edges and three equilateral triangle sides. The base is paralle
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a. 7.046 Nm²/C

b. 2.348 Nm²/C

Explanation:

Data given:

Base of equilateral triangle = 25.0 cm = 0.25 m

Strength of electric field = 260 N/C

In order to find the electric flux we first have to find out the area of triangle.

Area of triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

                         = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.25)^{2}

                         = 0.0271 m³

Lets find electric flux,

      Electric Flux = E. A

                          = 260×0.0271

                          = 7.046 Nm²/C

Now we can find the electric flux through each of the three sides.

Electric flux through three sides = \frac{7.046}{3}

                                                = 2.348 N m²/C

Sheila weighs 60 kg and is riding a bike. Her momentum on the bike is 340 kg • m/s. The bike hits a rock, which stops it complet
Vikki [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 5.7 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

Total\ Initial\ Momentum = m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}\\

where,

Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s

m₁ = mass of bike

v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s

m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg

v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?

Therefore,

340\ kg.m/s = m_{1}(0\ m/s) + (60\ kg)v_{2}\\v_{2} = \frac{340\ kg.m/s}{60\ kg}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>

What volume will be occupied by 20g of Copper if the density of Copper is 9.1g/ml?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The volume of copper is 2.198 ml

Explanation:

Given;

mass of copper, m = 20 g

density of copper, ρ = 9.1 g/ml

Density is given by;

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = (20 g) / (9.1 g/ml)

Volume = 2.198 ml

Therefore, the volume of copper is 2.198 ml

A plane starting from rest (vo = 0 m/s) when t0 = 0s. The plane accelerates down the runway, and at 29 seconds, its velocity is
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=2.48\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The plane is at rest initially, u = 0

Final speed of the plane, v = 72.2 m/s

Time, t = 29 s

We need to find the average acceleration for the plane. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{72.2}{29}

a=2.48\ m/s^2

So, the average acceleration for the plane is 2.48\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
