Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

g/cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above,

The y-axis is representing mass (g)

The x-axis is representing volume (cm³)

Unit of slope =?

Slope of a graph is simply defined as the change in y-axis divided by the change in x-axis. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Slope = change in y-axis (Δy)/change in x-axis (Δx)

Slope = Δy/Δx

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the unit used for measuring the slope as follow:

y-axis = mass (g)

x-axis = volume (cm³)

Slope =.?

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = mass (g) /volume (cm³)

Slope = g/cm³

Therefore, the derive unit used for measuring the slope is g/cm³

Provide descriptions and examples of the following forces: friction, gravity and elastic.
arsen [322]

Answer:

Friction:-

The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing inter molecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an

EG:-

A coaster sliding against a table.

Gravity:-

The force of gravity is the force with which the earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself. By definition, this is the weight of the object. All objects upon earth experience a force of gravity that is directed "downward" towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity on earth is always equal to the weight of the object as found

EG:-

The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.

Elastic:-

Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. When an elastic material is stretched or compressed, it exerts elastic force. This force increases the more the material is stretched or compressed.

EG:-

An archer's stretched bow

The law of universal gravitation (gravity) describes two factors that affect the force of gravity between objects. What two fact
kykrilka [37]
The force depends on the mass of both objects and the distance between them

F = G*m1*m2/r^2

So the force has a linear connection with the mass of both objects and a quadratic connection with the distance between the center of masses
