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.

How much work does a student (m = 60 kg) do when he Climb a tower 80 m high?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

W = 47040  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a student, m = 60 kg

Height of the tower, h = 80 m

We need to find the work done in climbing the tower. The work done is given by :

W = mgh

So,

W = 60 × 9.8 × 80

W = 47040  J

So, the required work done is 47040  J.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

d = 4 d₀o

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the relationship between work and the variation of kinetic energy

         W = ΔK

In that case as the car stops v_f = 0

the work is

          W = -fr d

we substitute

          - fr d₀ = 0 - ½ m v₀²

           d₀ = ½ m v₀² / fr

now they indicate that the vehicle is coming at twice the speed

          v = 2 v₀

using the same expressions we find

           d = ½ m (2v₀)² / fr

           d = 4 (½ m v₀² / fr)

           d = 4 d₀o
