erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

1.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Weight equals mass times acceleration due to gravity.

F = mg

14.4 N = (9 kg) g

g = 1.6 m/s²

An air bag is used to safely decrease the

Natalija [7]

The answer is 1. 4 is incorrect because you can't really decrease the mass of the driver. 3 is incorrect because accelerating the driver would cause more damage than not. 2 is incorrect because decreasing the distance would only cause more damage. 1 is correct because by increasing the length of time the force acts on the driver helps reduce the speed of the driver and cause the drive to sustain less injuries. Hope that helps.

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations

il63 [147K]

Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

The planet Uranus has a radius of 25,360 km and a surface acceleration due to gravity of 9.0 m/s^2 at its poles. Its moon Mirand

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

$8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

$0.34589\ m/s^2$

$0.07903\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

M = Mass of Uranus

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Uranus = 25360 km

h = Altitude = 104000 km

$r_m$ = Radius of Miranda = 236 km

m = Mass of Miranda = $6.6\times 10^{19}\ kg$

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gr^2}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{9\times 25360000^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

The mass of Uranus is $8.67791\times 10^{25}\ kg$

Acceleration is given by

$a_m=\dfrac{GM}{(r+h)^2}\\\Rightarrow a_m=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 8.67791\times 10^{25}}{(25360000+104000000)^2}\\\Rightarrow a_m=0.34589\ m/s^2$

Miranda's acceleration due to its orbital motion about Uranus is $0.34589\ m/s^2$

On Miranda

$g_m=\dfrac{Gm}{r_m^2}\\\Rightarrow g_m=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6.6\times 10^{19}}{236000^2}\\\Rightarrow g_m=0.07903\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to Miranda's gravity at the surface of Miranda is $0.07903\ m/s^2$

No, both the objects will fall towards Uranus. Also, they are not stationary.
