please dont put down a bullshyt answer. hey if you dont know the answer tell me something about yourself ( ha that should be interesting)

THANKS TO WHO ANSWER MATURELY!

when answering put the number of the question before your asnwer =)
or just copy and paste. much easier

1. what is the realtionship between a planets mass and its gravity?

2. do you think a planets mass will affect the escape velovity for that planet explain,

3 what is the relationship between mass and escape velocity

4. do you think an objet that is heavy or light would have a better chance of escaping a planets gravitional attraction. why

5. where are the heavist atoms generally located? do these atoms have low or high velocity?

6. where are the lightest atomes generally located? do these atoms have low or high velocity


this is for a paper that i have to turn in. i just need some help i suck at astronomy and i need to turn in some more papers before i can be switched out of that class! =) please help
 
1. The more mass a planet has the more gravity there is. That's why you would weigh so much more on Jupiter on Earth; Jupiter has a much greater mass so there's more gravity.

2. It definitely affects the escape velocity. The formula for escape velocity is
mv^2/2-GMm/r=0. (m=mass of object, r=distance away from M, M=planet's mass, v=speed)

In that equation is the planet's mass, which means that if it changes, so does the escape velocity.

3. (Refer to the escape velocity equation in question 3) The mass of the object trying to escape the gravity or another object is included in the equation which means if that changes, so does the escape velocity.

4. Lighter objects. The smaller the m in the equation the slower the object can be going to escape.

That's all I've got, I'm not even halfway through freshman astronomy so I haven't begun to learn about #'s 5 and 6. Hoep what I could answer helped!
 
1. what is the realtionship between a planets mass and its gravity?

A planet's mass is 3/5 of it's gravity to the cubed root minus 5 socks.



2. do you think a planets mass will affect the escape velovity for that planet explain,

I guess. It sounds smart...so yeah.



3 what is the relationship between mass and escape velocity

I like pie!



4. do you think an objet that is heavy or light would have a better chance of escaping a planets gravitional attraction. why

Which ever one has turbo bosters, duh!



5. where are the heavist atoms generally located? do these atoms have low or high velocity?

There're located in my fat Math teacher lol



6. where are the lightest atomes generally located? do these atoms have low or high velocity

Midgets
 
1. Not just planets have the relationship. Gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of its radius.

2. No, I don't think that - science states that it does.

3. The greater the mass, the greater the gravity and therefore the greater the escape velocity.

4. Escaping a planet's gravitation depends on the velocity of the object. A more massive object takes more force to accelerate it to escape velocity.
So both a more massive and a less massive (heavier and lighter are not scientific terms) can escape, the more massive one requires more fuel or initial thrust.

5. By heavier atoms, do you mean more massive atoms? Not sure what you mean by "where" - the more massive atoms are located in the lower right region of the periodic table.
Low or high velocity due to what? Why are these atoms moving?

6. By lighter atoms, do you mean less massive atoms? Not sure what you mean by "where" - the less massive atoms are located in the upper left region of the periodic table.
Low or high velocity due to what? Why are these atoms moving?

The point of homework is to learn how to learn (and how to ask questions), not to get someone else to do the homework for you.
The reason some people don't do well on a subject is they haven't done the homework for themselves.
