A space rover weighs less on Mars than it does on Earth. Which statement explains this difference? A. The gravitational constant
1 answer:
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
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.

Answer:
The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the hiker is
The time taken is
The vertical elevation after time T is
The change in gravitational potential is mathematically represented as
here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value
substituting values
Answer:
a) 32.58 m/s²
b) 161.84 m/s
Explanation:
Initial velocity = u = 0
Final velocity = v = 145 m/s
Time taken = t = 4.45 s
s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m
a = Acceleration
The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.
