Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2   force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2    force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

borishaifa [10]

Answer:a

Explanation:

Given

two bodies are falling with negligible air Resistance and one of the body is given a slight horizontal acceleration

since there is no change in vertical acceleration therefore time taken by both bodies is same irrespective of change in horizontal direction

suppose both start from rest from a height of h

time taken

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The only difference is that body with horizontal acceleration will be some distance away from first
