A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 280.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by F=mg, where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is 
F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different:g=3.7 m/s^2. The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus: 
g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg: 
g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as 
g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2

<span>6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is </span>g=9.81 m/s^2<span>. The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is 
</span>F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N<span>

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statement is true?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

user100 [1]
The three phases of matter differ in properties just because of the proximity of their molecules. The solid phase is the most organized of all. Its atoms are compactly arranged together and has the strongest intermolecular forces to keep them together. This is why they have a definite shape and volume. The liquid phase have molecules that are far away from each other, but not as far as that of the gas phase. The liquid and gas phases can be lumped into one group called fluids because they have the same property - they take the shape and volume of their container.

To make an analogy, see the attached picture for your reference.

2. A 1750 kg car accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s2. How much force is the cars engine producing?
8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2>7000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1750 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>7000 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
