Answer:

c. You would weigh less on planet A because the distance between

you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes your weight on each planet is that you would weigh less on planet A because the distance between you and the planet's center of gravity would be smaller.

This is based on Newton's law of universal gravitation which states that "the force of gravity between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

Since weight is dependent on the force of gravity and mass, the planet with more gravitational pull will have masses on them weighing more.

Since the distance between the person and the center of the planet is smaller, therefore, the weight will be lesser.

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

$a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)$

Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)$

Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

$\Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)$

We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

$v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)$

Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

$\Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s (5)$

ANEK [815]

After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
