Suppose you can communicate with the inhabitants of a planet in another solar system. They tell you that on their planet, whose diameter and mass are 5.0103km and 3.61023kg , respectively, the record for the high jump is 2.0 m. Given that this record is close to 2.4 m on Earth, what would you conclude about your extraterrestrial friends’ jumping ability?
A rock is thrown straight up. At the top of the trajectory, the velocity is momentarily zero. Does this imply that the force acting on the object is zero? Explain your answer.
Which is true about the acceleration due to gravity? (3.5) (a) It is a universal constant. (b) It is a fundamental property. (c) It decreases with increasing altitude. (d) It is different for different objects in free fall.
how does mass affect acceleration due to gravity? (ex. dropping a 10g ball vs a 50g ball)
An astronaut on the Moon simultaneously drops a feather and a hammer. The fact that they land together shows that: a. No gravity forces act on a body in a vacuum b. The feather has a greater weight on the moon than on Earth c. In the absence of air resistance all bodies at a given location fall with the same acceleration d. The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is less than on Earth.
Is it correct to that all of these are true execpt for the third statement? A person will feel weightlessness when: -in a free fall environment -air resistance acting on their body is negligeable -they weigh nothing due to reduced gravitational forces on their body -there is no support force to balance the force of gravity on their body
