An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
1 answer:
Answer:
The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.
Explanation:
Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N
On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²
Weight of an object is given by :
W = mg
m is mass
So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg
Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²
Weight of the object on Mars,
W' =mg'
W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²
= 91.14 N
So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

PART a)
As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula
here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance
so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position
So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point
PART b)
Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here
so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum
So here speed is maximum at the nearest point
Part C)
since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
