The acceleration due to gravity on the new planet would be one third that of Earth's, or about 9.8 m/s^2.

What is planet?
This question might seem to have an easy solution, but it doesn't. The planets Earth, Mars, and Jupiter are well known. But before recent discoveries sparked a passionate debate about how to best characterise them, both Pluto and Ceres have been thought of as planets. This debate is still going strong today. The International Astronomical Union adopted the most recent definition of the a planet in 2006.

It specifies three requirements for a planet:

-It must move about a star (in our cosmic neighborhood, the Sun).
-It must be large enough for gravity to pull it in a spherical direction.
-It must have been large enough that any nearby objects of the a similar size were removed by its gravitational pull.

Given that the mass of the new planet is one third that of Earth's and its radius is twice that of Earth's, we can say that its volume is eight times that of Earth's.  This means that its average density is one third that of Earth. Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on the new planet would be one third that of Earth's, or about 9.8 m/s^2.

How much work is done on a 75 newton bowling ball when you carry it horizontally across a 10 meter room
svlad2 [7]

F = force applied to hold the weight of the bowling ball = weight of the bowling ball = 75 N

d = distance through which the bowling ball is moved horizontally = 10 meter

θ = angle between the force in vertically upward direction  and displacement in horizontal direction = 90

W = work done on the bowling ball

work done on the bowling ball is given as

W = F d Cosθ

inserting the values

W = (75) (10) Cos90

W =  (75) (10) (0)

W = 0 J

A 60 kg person is standing on a thin, conductive disk (the person is wearing thick rubber shoes, so the person is electrically s
erica [24]

Answer:

a)   t = 3.2 10¹⁴ s , b)    Δm = 1,456 10⁻¹³ kg, mass decreases

Explanation:

In this exercise the removed electrons leave a positive charge on each disk, as the two charges are of the same sign they repel each other, so using Newton's equilibrium equation

                    F_{e} –W = 0

                    F_{e} = W = mg

Electric force is

                    F_{e} = k q₁ q₂ / r²

Since the two generators remove 500 e/s, q₁ = q₂ = q

                    F_{e} = k q² / r²

                   k q² / r² = m g

                   q = √ m g r²/ k

                   q = √ (60 9.8 0.001² / 8.99 10⁹)

                   q = √ 6.54 10⁻⁴

                   q = 2.56 10⁻² C

This is the charge on each disk

                  q = # _electron  e

                  # _electron = q / e

                  # _electron = 2.56 10⁻² / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

                  # _electron = 1.6 10¹⁷  electrons

Let's use a rule of proportions to find the accumulation time, if the rate is 500 e/s

                  t = 1.6 10¹⁷  1/500

                  t = 3.2 10¹⁴ s

b) how electrons are losing their mass decreases

                 Δm = me # _electron

                 Δm = 9.1 10⁻³¹  1.6 10¹⁷

                 Δm = 1,456 10⁻¹³ kg

Water enters a 2 m3 tank at a rate of 6 kg/s and is withdrawn at a rate of 2 kg/s. The tank is initially half full. What type of
NemiM [27]

Answer:

This process is semicontinuous.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 2 m³

Enter flow rate = 6 kg/s

Exit flow rate = 2 kg/s

The tank is initially half full.

We need to find what type of process

Using given data,

This process is not continuous because given enter and exit flow rate is not equal.

This process is semicontinuous and the water level in the tank does not reach a constant level.

Hence, This process is semicontinuous.
