Question no. 1. Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar:
Answer: Our solar system is located in the outer spiral arm of the milky way galaxy. our solar system has one sun and nine revolving planets and . namely
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
- Pluto (small planet usually refer as dwarf)
Each star has its on moon/moons and has its own characteristics i.e , planet must be a celestial body , must have orbit around sun, have enough mass for self gravity, big enough to have gravity that clear its path from other same size object close to its orbit around sun.
Mars is the fourth from the sun and sixth is the Saturn from the sun in our solar system.
<u>Common in Characteristics of Mars and Saturn:</u>
- Mars and Saturn both have celestial body.
- Mars and Saturn both have enough mass for the gravity to get rid of rigid body forces.
- Mars and Saturn both revolve around the sun in their own orbits.
- Mars is the second smallest in the solar system while Saturn is second largest in the solar system.
- Mars and Saturn both have their own moons. Mars has two while Saturn has 83 moons
- Mars and Neptune both do not support life.
Question no. 2. Compare the planets Earth and Neptune. Describe how are they different from each other
Answer:
Earth our home planet is the third from the sun and Neptune on the other hand is the eighth from the sun in the solar system.
<u>Common differences between Earth and Neptune</u>
- Earth is the terrestrial planet while Neptune (Ice giant) is the Jovian planet.
- Earth has no ring around it, Neptune has ring around it.
- Earth is closer to the sun and Neptune is far distant from the sun.
- Earth consists of rocks and metals on the other hand Neptune contain gases
- Earth is smaller than the Neptune in the solar system.
- Earth rotates slower and Neptune rotates faster.
Answer:
Balanced force
Explanation:
Balanced Forces, When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. ... Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass.
Answer:
Weight on Earth = We = 186.2 N
Weight on Mars = Wm = 70.94 N
Explanation:
The weight of an object is defined as the force applied on the object by the gravitational field. The magnitude of weight is given by the following formula:
W = mg
were,
W= Weight of Eric
m = mass of Eric
g = acceleration due to gravity
ON EARTH:
W = We = Eric's Weight on Earth = ?
m = Eric's Mass on Earth = 19 kg
ge = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
We = (19 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
<u>We = 186.2 N</u>
<u></u>
ON MARS:
W = Wm = Eric's Weight on Mars = ?
m = Eric's Mass on Mars = 19 kg
gm = acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 0.381(ge) = (0.381)9.8 m/s² = 3.733 m/s²
Therefore,
Wm = (19 kg)(3.733 m/s²)
<u>Wm = 70.94 N</u>
Answer:
kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2
Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that;
Kinetic energy = 1/2.mv²
given that mass of the object is doubled; m1 = 2m
speed is halved; v1 = V/2
Now, New kinetic energy will be; 1/2.m1v1²
we substitute
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v/2)²
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v²/4)
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (v²/2)
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ 1/2mv² ]
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ KE ]
Therefore; kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2
Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer
The perspective which best explain this is SOCIO-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE.
Socio-cultural perspective is a theory which explains the awareness of situations surrounding people and how their behavior is determined by their environment, culture and social values.
