Suppose we have two planets with the same mass, but the radius of the second one is twice the size of the first one. How does the free-fall acceleration on the second planet compare to the first planet

Answers

Answer 1

The free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.

Calculation:

Consider the mass of planet A to be, M

               the mass of planet B to be, Mₓ = M

               the radius of planet A to be, R₁

               the radius of planet B to be, R₂

The acceleration due to gravity on planet A's surface is given as:

g = GM/R₁²      - (1)

Similarly, the acceleration due to gravity on planet B's surface is given as:

g' = GM/R₂²                           [where, R₂ = 2R₁]

   = GM/4R₁²    -(2)

From equation 1 & 2, we get:

g/g' = GM/R₁² ÷ GM/4R₁²

g/g' = 4/1

Thus we get,

g' = 1/4 g

Therefore, the free-fall acceleration on the second planet is one-fourth the value of the first planet.

Let’s use *queue dramatic voice* THE GREAT LAW OF THE CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM!!!!!

m1v1i - m1v1f = m2(v2f - v2i)

m2 = [(0.15)(15) - (0.15)(1.2)] / (13 - -22)

Let the displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200). Find the total displacement, instantaneous velocity and instantaneous acceleration​

Answers

Answer:

A.) 39.5 m

B.) 0

C.) 60m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).

To Find the total displacement,

Reduce everything by dividing them by 5

X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)

For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,

dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)

But dy/dt = velocity.

If dy/dt = 0, then

60t - 15 = 0

60t = 15

t = 15/60

t = 0.25s

Substitutes t in equation (1)

Total displacement will be

X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40

X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40

Total displacement = 39.5 m

To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)

V = 60 (0.25) - 15

V = 0.

and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt

dv/dt = 60

Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2

A 12 kg object speeds up from an initial velocity of 10 m/s north to a final velocity of 15 m/s north. Calculate the change in momentum

Answers

Answer:

60m/s

Explanation:

momentum = Mass × Velocity

Initial Momentum = 12 × 10

= 120

Final Momentum = 12×15

=180

Change in Momentum = 180 - 120

= 60m/s

Answer:

60

Explanation:

formula for change in momentum = F =∆p/∆t

F∆t = ∆p

∆p = m(v - Vo)

∆p = 12(15-10)

=12(5)= 60

Someone Help me please

Answers

Answer:

a) Yes because spiderman isn’t part of the system (the train), so he exerts an external force on the system, causing it to slow. The sign is negative because the train is slowing negative.

b) The train was initially moving, so it had kinetic energy, the energy of movement. There isn’t the same amount anymore because spiderman did work onto the train. Work is defined by the change of kinetic energy of the system, so the train didn’t have the same amount of that type of energy at the end.

John is hiking and notices a small stream of water flowing down the side of the mountain. In this John is experiencing runoff of the water cycle. Thus, the correct option is A.

What is Runoff?

Surface runoff is the flow of water which is occurring on the ground surface when there is excess rainwater, storm water, melt water, or other sources of water, which can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil of the region.

Runoff occurs in the excessive rainwater and it saturates the ground surface. Rivers and lakes are the results of water runoff. There is some evaporation from the water runoff into the atmosphere however for the most part water in the rivers and lakes returns back to the oceans.


Therefore, the correct option is A.

Based from the flow chart, what can you generalize about the formation of typhoons? How do typhoons develop?

Answers

Answer: Warm water from the ocean is needed to develop typhoon

Pls Rate this as Brilliant Answer thank you :) keep on learning

Typhoons form when strong winds blow into warm areas of the ocean. These winds pick up moisture and rise, bringing colder air with them. This creates pressure, causing the winds to move quickly. The winds revolve or spin around a central point known as an eye.

What is typhoon ?

A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that forms in the Northern Hemisphere between 180° and 100°E. The Northwestern Pacific Basin is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for nearly one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones.

The Philippines is just above the equator and faces the western Pacific, with little else to absorb storm energy before it reaches land. Storms are fueled by warm, tropical waters, which produce approximately 20 typhoons per year.

Hurricanes and typhoons can wreak havoc on coastlines and hundreds of miles inland. They can generate winds of up to 155 mph, as well as tornadoes and microbursts.

Thus, Typhoons form when strong winds blow into warm areas of the ocean.

if a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
(treat the speaker as a point source.)

Answers

Answer:

111dB

Explanation:

First, find the intensity of the sound using the formula I = Power / 4 x pi x radius ^2

So

60.0 / (4 x 3.14 (6.25)^2)

= 0.122

Then plug that into the equation to find sound level, which is 10log( I / Io)

Io being (1 x 10^-12)

So

10log(0.122 / 1 x 10^-12)

= 111dB

A clock which has a brass pendulum beats second correctly when the temperature of

rooms falls to 10°C. Find the linear expansivity of brass.​

Answers

Answer:

- 0.0481666 °C^-1

Explanation:

Linear expansivity of brass, α

α = (2T - 2T0) / T0.dt

T0 = 30°

dt = change in temperature = 30 - 10 = 20°C

T = 15.55 sec

α = (2*15.55 - 2*30) / 30*20

α = (31.1 - 60) / 600

α = - 28.9 / 600

α = - 0.0481666 °C^-1

The change in Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is actually 0! Think about it:
What is the formula for it?
Well, GPE = mgh.
So, when the height is the same in both cases, we know the gravitational potential energy is the same. Therefore, change in GPE = 0.
Sure, GPE did transform to KE during the swing, but all of that KE transformed back into the original amount of GPE.

A spring with k = 33.5 N/m has a
1.20 kg mass attached. It is pulled
0.120 m and released. How much
mechanical energy does it have?
(Unit = J)

Answers

Answer:

M.E = 0.241 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Spring constant, k = 33.5 N/m

Extension, e = 0.12m

Mass = 1.20kg

To find the mechanical energy (M.E);

Mathematically, mechanical energy is given by this formula;

M.E = ½ke²

Where;

k is the constant of elasticity (spring constant). e is the extension of the string.  

Substituting into the equation, we have;

M.E = ½*33.5*0.12²

M.E = ½*33.5*0.0144

M.E = 0.4824/2

M.E = 0.241 Joules.

You have two lens A and B of focal length +50cm and -50cm respectively. The nature and power of the lenses respectively isa. Concave, -2 D ; Convex, +2 D b. Convex, +2 D; Concave, - 2 D

Answers

Answer:

Concave, +2D

Convex -2D

Explanation:

Power of a lens is the reciprocal of its focal length.

For lens of +50cm = 0.5m

Power of the lens = 1/0.5

Power of the lens = +2Dioptres

Since the focal length is positive, the lens is concave

For the lens of -50cm = -0.5m

Power = 1/-0.5

Power = -2D dioptres

Since the focal length is negative, the lens is convex
