When the mass of Earth doubles, acceleration due to gravity doubles as well.

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = mg --- (1)

where;

  • m is mass of the object
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

F = GmM/R²  --- (2)

where;

  • M is mass of Earth
  • R is radius of Earth

Solve (1) and (2)

mg =  GmM/R²

g = GM/R²

when the mass of Earth doubles, acceleration due to gravity becomes;

g' = G(2M)/R²

g' = 2(GM/R²)

g' = 2g

Thus, when the mass of Earth doubles, acceleration due to gravity doubles as well.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:2.55 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of ride=5 m

radius(r)=2.5 m

Static friction coefficient range=0.60-1

Here Frictional force will balance weight

And limiting  frictional force is provided by Centripetal force

f=\mu N=\mu m\omega ^2\cdot r

weight of object=mg

Equating two

f=mg

\mu m\omega ^2\cdot r=mg

\omega ^2=\frac{g}{\mu r}

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu r}}

\omega =2.55 rad/sec
