The path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the sa

me mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force. What statement accurately compares these two events? A) The meteors fall at the same rate since they have the same mass. B) The meteor falls to Earth faster due to its greater gravitational force. C) The meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force. D) The meteor falls to Jupiter at a faster rate due to its thinner atmosphere.

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

As it is given in the problem, the path of a meteor passing Earth is affected by its gravitational force and falls to Earth's surface. Another meteor of the same mass falls to Jupiter's surface due to its gravitational force.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitational, every particle attracts every other particles in the universe with the gravitational force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It is also the largest planet in the solar system. The gravity of Jupiter on its surface is 2.4 times that of surface gravity of the Earth.

If a person weighs 100 pounds on the Earth then he would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), the meteor falls to Jupiter faster due to its greater gravitational force.

A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

a cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.- kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,
nirvana33 [79]

(a) According to Newton’s third law, for every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction. In this case, the cannonball is affected by 8.0x10^3 newtons in one direction. Now the cannon must also be affected by the same amount of net force on the opposite direction.

- 8.0x10^3 Newtons (the negative symbol only shows that it is opposite direction)

 

(b) We solve this using the formula:

F = m a

8.0x10^3 N = (1.0 kg) a

a = 8,000 m/s^2

A 1.2 kg ball moving due east at 40 m/s strikes a stationary 6.0 kg object. The 1.2 kg ball rebounds to the west at 25 m/s. What
RSB [31]
V_2' = v_1 + v_1'
So v_2' = 40 + -25
We have set east to be + and west -
Which gives us 15 m/s. So thats how fast the 6 kg object is going.
This is true for an elastic collision.
