Field strength =force/unit mass
= 14.8N/ 4kg = 3.7N/kg

Answer:

The gravitational field strength on Mars is 3.7 N/kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 4 kg

Weight of the object on Mars, F = W = 14.8 N

We need to find the gravitational field strength on Mars. It is given by gravitational force per unit mass of an object. Mathematically, it is given by

$G=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$G=\dfrac{14.8\ N}{4\ kg}$

G = 3.7 N/kg

So, the gravitational field strength on Mars is 3.7 N/kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The force per unit length is $2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m$

Explanation:

The current carrying by each wires = 2.85 A

The current in both wires flows in same direction.

The gap between the wires = 6.10 cm

Now we will use the below expression for the force per unit length. Moreover, before using the below formula we have to change the unit centimetre into meter. So, we just divide the centimetre with 100.

$F/l = \frac{\mu _0i_1 i_2}{2\pi d} \\i_1 = 2.85 \\i_ 2 = 2.85 \\\mu _0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \\d = 0.061 \\F/l = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2.85 \times 2.85}{2 \pi \times 0.061} \\= 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m$

Which of the following best describes entropy

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Exothermic reactions increase the entropy of the surroundings. Simply put, entropy measures the dispersal of energy. Since ΔH is negative in an exothermic reaction, this must mean that ΔS will take on a positive value, indicating an increase in entropy.

Answer:

e see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

Explanation:

This is an ejercise in special relativity, where the speed of light is constant.

Let's carefully analyze the approach, we see the two events at the same time.

The closest event time is

c = (x₁-300) / t

t = (x₁-300) / c

The time for the other event is

t = (x₂- 600) / c

since they tell us that we see the events simultaneously, we can equalize

(x₁ -300) / c = (x₂ -600) / c

x₁ = x₂ - 300

We see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1
