Answer:

Equator

Explanation:

The equator is the line of latitude that separates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.Its magnitude is 0 degrees latitude. The equator and other lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The lines of longitude which is 0 degrees is known as the Greenwich meridian. The longitudinal lines however are not parallel as they converge at the poles.

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso

nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, $M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Radius of a planet, $R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m$

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}$

$g=2.91\ m/s^2$

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}$

$v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}$

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much displacement will a spring with a constant of 120N / m achieve if it is stretched by a force of 60N?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

There's a formula for this:

$F = k*displacement$

F being force, k being the spring constant, and displacement being the change in x

We are given the force and the spring constant, so this is essentially isolating the Δx term. Do 60N/120N per meter. The newtons cancel out and you get a final answer of Δx = 0.5 meters

dangina [55]

I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.
