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

At the same instant that a 0.50-kg ball is dropped from 25 m above Earth, a second ball, with a mass of 0.25 kg, is thrown strai
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

Explanation:

<u>Motion of 0.50 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height = 25 m

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 0 x 2 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 19.62 m

Height above ground = 25 - 19.62 = 5.38 m

<u>Motion of 0.25 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 15 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

                 s = 15 x 2 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 10.38 m

Height above ground = 10.38 m

We have equation for center of gravity

          \bar{x}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

          m₁ = 0.50 kg

          x₁ = 5.38 m        

          m₂ = 0.25 kg

          x₂ = 10.38 m    

Substituting

         \bar{x}=\frac{0.50\times 5.38+0.25\times 10.38}{0.50+0.25}=7.05m

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?
Neko [114]
Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.

An alert driver can apply the brakes fully in about 0.5 seconds. How far would the car travel if it
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken to apply brakes fully is, t = 0.5 s

The velocity of the car, v = 29.06 m/s

The distance traveled by the car in 0.5 s, d = ?

The relation between the velocity, displacement, and time is given by the formula                

                                d = v x t    m

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                  d = 29.06 m/s x 0.5 s

                                     = 14.53 m

Therefore, the car would travel after applying brakes is, d = 14.53 m
