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>

While a block slides forward 1.35 m, a force pulls back at a 135 direction, doing -17.8 J of work. what is the magnitude of the
Mademuasel [1]
<h2>18.6467 N</h2>

Explanation:

       The Work done by any force is defined as the force applied times the displacement of point of application of force in the direction of force.

       This is better represented as a scalar product of Force vector and displacement vector.

       Work\textrm{ = }\vec{F}.\vec{s}

Here, the angle between force and displacement is 145^{o}.

       Work=|F||s|\cos\theta

       -17.8\textrm{ J = }|F|\times 1.35\textrm{ }m\times cos(135^{o})

       |F|=18.6467N

∴ Magnitude of force = 18.6467N

An automobile traveling along a straight road increases its speed from 72 ft/s to 84 ft/s in 180 ft. if the acceleration is cons
Nikolay [14]
The equation that would allow us to calculate for the acceleration given the distance is written below,

      a = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2d

where a is the acceleration, Vf is the final velocity, Vo is the initial velocity, and d is distance. 

Substituting the known values,
    a = ((84 ft/s)² - (72 ft/s)²) / 2(180 ft) = 5.2 ft/s²

Then, the equation that would relate the initial velocity, distance, acceleration and time is calculated through the equation,
      
     d = Vot + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
    180 = 72(t) + 0.5(5.2)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 2.3 s

A 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because
amid [387]

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s

Which property helps to explain differences in the specific heat capacities of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

D. Forces between molecules

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of water can be defined as the amount of heat a gram of water must lose or absorb in order to change its temperature by a degree Celsius. It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). Generally, the specific heat capacity of water is 4.182J/kg°C and is the highest among liquids.

Mathematically, the specific heat capacity of a substance is given by the formula;

c = \frac {Q}{mdt}

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Cohesion is a property of water and it typically refers to the attraction between molecules of water which holds them together.

In Science, the property which helps to explain differences in the specific heat capacities of two substances is the forces between molecules.

This ultimately implies that, the more closely bonded the atoms of a substance are, the higher or greater would be the substance's specific heat capacity. Thus, it varies for the various states of matter i.e solid, liquid and gas.
