What is the gravitational acceleration close to the surface of a planet with a mass of 9ME and radius of 3RE, where ME and RE ar

Papessa [141]

Answer:

9.78 m/s²

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the gravitational formula

g = GM/r², where

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of the planet

r = radius of the planet

From the question, we got that the mass of the planet is

M = 9ME, where ME = 5.95*10^24

M = 9 * 5.95*10^24

M = 5.355*10^25 kg

Also, the Radius of the planet, R = 3RE, where RE = 6.37*10^6

R = 3 * 6.37*10^6

R = 1.911*10^7 m

On applying the values of both R and M to the equation, we get

g = GM/r²

g = (6.67*10^-11 * 5.355*10^25) / (1.911*10^7)²

g = 3.57*10^15/3.65*10^14

g = 9.78 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 9.78 m/s²

At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.50 gg? Assume the spacesh

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The time needed is $T = 16.8 s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the stimulated acceleration due gravity is $a = 0.5 g$

The diameter of the spaceship is $d = 35m$

Generally the force acting on the spaceship is

$F = ma$

Given that the spaceship is rotating it implies that the force experienced by the occupant is a centripetal force so

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Thus

$ma = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

=> $\frac{v^2}{r} = a$

Generally the speed of this spaceship is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

=> $v^2 = [\frac{2\pi}{T}] ^2$

=> $\frac{\frac{4\pi^2 r^2}{T^2} }{r} = 0.5g$

=> $\frac{4 \pi^2 r }{T^2} = 0.5 g$

=> $T = \sqrt{ \frac{4\pi^2 r}{0.5g}}$

substituting values

$T = \sqrt{ \frac{4* (3.142)^2 *(35)}{0.5 * 9.8}}$

$T = 16.8 s$

Explain what parallel medium boundaries do to the path of the wave after it travels through both boundaries. (air and water)

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The boundaries cause the waves to change direction an effect called <u>refraction.</u>

Explanation:

When a wave crosses a boundary between different materials, the speed of the wave and its wavelength changes.When passing from air to water the two properties (speed and wavelength) decreases, and the wave is observed to change direction as it crosses the boundary between the two material.The bending of the wave is called refraction.
