Answer:
- on the moon, they will fall at the time
- on earth, the coin will fall faster to the ground
Explanation:
A coin and feather dropped in a moon experience the same acceleration due to gravity as small as 1.625 m/s², and because of the absence of air resistance both will fall at the same rate to the ground.
If the same coin and feather are dropped in the earth, they will experience the same acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s² and because of the presence of air resistance, the heavier object (coin) will be pulled faster to the ground by gravity than the lighter object (feather).
The acceleration due to gravity is given as:
g = GM/r²
<h3>
Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>
According to Newton's second law of motion,
F = ma
where,
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
According to Newton's law of gravity,
F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²
F<em>g = </em>gravitational force
From Newton's second law of motion,
F<em>g </em>= ma
a = F<em>g</em>/m
We can refer to "a" as "g"
a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²
g = GM/(r + h)²
When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,
g = GM/r²

Power = work/time
= 500/10
= 50J/s or 50 watt
Answer:
The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.
Explanation:
Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.
Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as
where,
is the position vector of the mass dm.
As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.
Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:
1) Horseshoe shaped body.
2) A thin ring.
In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.
Answer:
14,700 N
Explanation:
The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:
(1)
the weight of the hyppo is
where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find
