Strange as it may seem, it is as hard to accelerate a car on a level surface on the moon as it is here on the earth. this is because? 1.the weight of the car is independent of gravity.2.the mass of the car is independent of gravity.3.nonsense! a car is much more easily accelerated on the moon than on the earth.

A500g object falls off a cliff and losers 100 j from its gravitational potential energy store. if the gravitational field strength g=9.8n/kg, how high is the cliff?

Which of the following will cause an induced current in a coil of wire? the constant field of the earth passing through the coil a magnet resting near the coil a magnet being moved into or out of the coil a wire carrying a constant current near the coil

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
