Answer: The gravitational acceleration on planet X is 5 N/kg

On Earth (with the gravitational accelartion g_E) the mass of 2kg will correspond to

F_E = m\cdot g_E = 2.0 \mbox{kg}\cdot 9.8 \frac{N}{kg} = 19.6 N

On planet X we are told the same measure is only 10N. Since there is a proportional relationship between g and F, we can calculate g_X:

\frac{F_E}{g_E}=\frac{F_X}{g_X} \implies\\g_x = \frac{g_E\cdot F_X}{F_E}=\frac{9.8 N/kg \cdot 10 N }{19.6N}=5 \frac{N}{kg}

You are driving at 50 miles per hour. If you decrease the time it takes you to travel 1 mile by 8 seconds, what is your new spee
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Since speed = distance/time;

time = distance/speed.

While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour

(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.

So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,

New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour

New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment  of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is  I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

Buddy, I think you need to evaluate your question and fix it. Because it's not making any sense, whatsoever.
