From the calculations, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is 0.38 m/s^2.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The weight of an object is obtained as the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus;

When;

mass = 120 kg

weight = 46 N

acceleration due to gravity = 46 N/120 kg

=0.38 m/s^2

Consider a spherical planet of uniform density rho. The distance from the planet's center to its surface (i.e., the planet's rad

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a) $g(r) = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r$ , b) $g = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r_{P}$

Explanation:

a) The acceleration due to gravity inside the planet is:

$dg = G\cdot \frac{\rho \cdot dV}{r^{2}}$

$dg = G\cdot \frac{4\pi\cdot \rho \cdot r^{2}\,dr}{r^{2}}$

$dg = 4\pi\cdot G\cdot \rho \,dr$

$g(r) = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r$

b) The acceleration at the surface of the planet is:

$g = 4\pi \cdot G \cdot \rho\cdot r_{P}$

Which sphere has the longest gravitational potential energy?

sveticcg [70]

Gravitational potential energy is the higher it us above the ground the more gravitational potential energy it holds.Sphere 2 says it has three times the mass of sphere 1. Therefore the answer is Sphere 2 since it was raised three time the mass of sphere 1. and the rest of the answer choices dont make sense.

A rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with an upward acceleration of 2.90 m/s2 . At 20.0s after blastoff, t

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A) 580m

B) 0 m/s

C) 9.8m/s^2

D) downward

E) 10.87s

F) 106.62 m/s

Explanation:

A) The distance traveled by the rocket is calculated by using the following expression:

$y=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

a: acceleration of the rocket = 2.90 m/s^2

t: time of the flight = 20.0 s

$y=\frac{1}{2}(2.90\frac{m}{s^2})(20.0s)^2=580m$

B) In the highest point the rocket has a velocity with magnitude zero v = 0m/s because there the rocket stops.

C) The engines of the rocket suddenly fails in the highest point. There, the acceleration of the rocket is due to the gravitational force, that is 9.8 m/s^2

D) The acceleration points downward

E) The time the rocket takes to return to the ground is given by:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(580m)}{9.8m/s^2}}=10.87s$

10.87 seconds

F) The velocity just before the rocket arrives to the ground is:

$v=\sqrt{2gy}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s ^2)(580m)}=106.62\frac{m}{s}$

Which two options are forms of potential energy

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are two kinds of energy – kinetic energy when something is moving, and potential energy, which is energy that is stored and ready to be used. All objects have potential energy or stored energy if they are placed in a certain position.

Beyond the petition Neptune a field of smaller bodies orbits the Sun.Some scientists think these objects are the remains of mate

Vladimir79 [104]

This is a very valid hypothesis for many reasons. One is that solar systems form from massive amounts of dust, ice, and debris that eventually form into planets and such. This means it is very possible for this 'excess material' if you will to have moved into orbit behind Neptune.
