Mars has twice the mass of Mercury and is 4 times further away from the Sun. Calculate theratio of the gravitational force from

the Sun on Mercury to the gravitational force from the Sunon Mars.
Physics

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

An object is held at rest and allowed to drop How far does the object fall in 3.3 seconds?
IgorC [24]
After x seconds, an object will fall \frac{1}{2}at^2 where a is acceleration due to gravity and t is time

so when t=3.3
the distance it will fall is (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(3.3m)^2=53.361m
it will fal 53.361 meters

Suppose you have two identical sheets of paper and you crumple one of the sheets of paper into a ball. If you drop the crumpled
sammy [17]

Answer:

Because it can easily resist air resistance.

Explanation:

Since air resistance is not negligible, the crumpled paper will reach the ground first because it can easily resist air resistance surrounding it compare to the un-crumpled one that will be influenced by the air thereby causing the un-crumpled paper to spend more time in the air

A ball of mass 8 kg falls from rest from a height of 100 m. Neglecting air resistance,calculate its kinetic energy after falling
astra-53 [7]
As an object falls from rest, its gravitational energy is converted to kinetic energy

G.P.E = K.E = mgh

K.E = (80 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(30 m)

K.E. = 23,520 J
