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>

victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.695s

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, the restoring force is given has

F = -ky .......1

Where F is the force, y is the spring displacement and k force constant of the spring.

Also recall,

F=mg ............ 2

Where m is the mass of object, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Equating 1 and 2

Ky = mg

Given that g=9.8m/s2 , y is 3.4cm and g is 8g

K×3.4/100m =8/1000kg × 9.8m/s2

K= ( 0.008kg × 9.8m/s2 ) ÷ 0.034

K= 0.0784÷0.035

K=2.24N/m

Mass ofvthe second object is 25g =0.025kg

Period of oscillation T

T=2π√m/k

T=2×3.142√0.025/2.24

T=6.284√0.0111

T=0.659seconds

Marizza181 [45]

Your question is missing one part as "magnification"

i have completed the missing part below

Answer:

a. d_{i}=-0.0566cm

b. M=441.69

Explanation:

For this type of numerical we will use the following formulas

\frac{n1}{d_{o} }+\frac{n_{2} }{d_{i} }=\frac{n_{2}-n_{1}  }{R}......... Eq1

where,

n_{1}=refractive index of the medium surrounding refracting surface/object

i.e. n_{1}=n_{air}  

n_{2}= refractive index of the refracting surface/object

i.e. n_{2}=n_{glass}

d_{0}= distance of object from the vertex of the refracting surface

d_{i}=distance of image from the vertex of the refracting surface

R=radius of curvature of the refracting surface

M=\frac{d_{0} }{d_{i} } ........... Eq2

where,

M=magnification

Convention:

R>0\for\ the\ convex\ refractive\ surface\ of\ curvature\\\ R

Given:

n_{1}=n_{air}=1.0

n_{2}=n_{glass}=1.5

d_{0}=25cm

R=-11cm because refraction surface is concave

Required:

a. d_{i}=?

b. M=?

Solution:

a. putting values in eq1, we get

\frac{1.0}{25}+\frac{1.5}{d_{i} }=\frac{1.5-1.0}{-11}

\frac{1.5}{d_{i} }=-0.045-0.040

d_{i}=(-0.085)(\frac{1}{1.5} )

d_{i}=-0.0566cm

b. M=\frac{25}{-0.05665}

M=441.69

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

volume of the airspace=0.605m^3

Explanation:

Patm = 10^5 N/m^2

Depth= 60 metres

Pressure at the depth = ?

Density = 1.025 g/cm3 = 1025 kg/m3

P = Patm + hσg

P = 10^5 + 60*1025*9.8

P = 702700 N/m^2

P = 7.027 atm

Since the temperature is constant, Boyle’s law holds

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = 1 atm  

P1, initial pressure of the bell(atm pressure) = 1 atm

The initial volume of the airspace, V1 = 4.25 m^3

Final pressure at the depth = 7.027 atm

Applying the Boyle’s lay

1*4.25 = 7.027 * V2

V2 = 4.25/7.027

V2 = 0.605m^3
