As accurately described by Einstein's theory of relativity, gravity is not necessarily a force, but a consequence of the curvature of space time that is caused by the uneven distribution of mass. But this could also be approximated by Newton's Law of Universal Motion. Gravity is a force acting upon two objects with masses at a certain amount of distance. So, the greater the mass, and the closer the objects are, the greater is the force of gravity. So, if you compare the gravity on Mars compared to Earth at a given distance, compare their masses. The mass of Earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg while that of Mars is <span>6.39 × 10^23 kg. So, the gravity on Earth is much greater because Earth is heavier.

For the second question, let's base on Newton's Second Law of Motion which states: the force exerted on or by the object, is equal to its mass times acceleration. In equation, F = ma. So, if you want to increase acceleration, the force should be greater, while the mass should be lighter.</span>

A big wheel at a theme park has a diameter of 14m and people on the ride complete one revolution in 24s. calculate the distance
just olya [345]

Explanation:

We'll call the radius r and the diameter d:

We also assume that the riders are at a distance r = d/2 = 7m from the center of the wheel.

The period of the wheel is 24s. The tangent velocity of the wheel (and the riders) will be: (2pi/T)*r = 0.8 m/s (circa).

It means that in 3 minutes (180 seconds) they'll run 0.8 m/s * 180s = 144m.

Hopefully I understood the question. If yes, that's the answer.

A system of ideal gas at 22°C undergoes an ischoric process with an internal energy decrease of 4.30 × 10 3 4.30×103 J to a fina
Komok [63]

Answer:

The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 22°C

Internal energy U=4.30\times10^{3}\ J

Final temperature = 16°C

We need to calculate the approximate change in entropy

Using formula of the entropy

\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta U}{T}

Where, \Delta U = internal energy

T = average temperature

Put the value in to the formula

\Delta S=\dfrac{-4.30\times10^{3}}{\dfrac{22+273+16+273}{2}}

\Delta S=-14.72\ J/K

Hence, The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coefficients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.096

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.072

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on hi
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.
