Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Radius of new planet,R' = 2R

Mass of the earth, M' = 2 M

R and M is the Radius and Mass of the earth.

Weight of the person on earth = 500 N

Weight of the person in the new planet = ?

We know acceleration due to gravity is calculated by using formula

   g = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

now, acceleration due to gravity on the new planet

   g' = \dfrac{GM'}{R'^2}

   g' = \dfrac{G(2M)}{(2R)^2}

   g' =\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{GM}{R^2}

   g' =\dfrac{g}{2}

here acceleration due to gravity is half in new planet, so weight will also be half on the new planet.

Weight on the new plane is equal to \dfrac{500}{2} = 250 N

correct answer is option B

Answer:

C. amount of charge on the source charge.

Explanation:

Electric field lines can be defined as a graphical representation of the vector field or electric field.

Basically, it was first introduced by Michael Faraday and it is typically a curve drawn to the tangent of a point is in the direction of the net field acting on each point.

The number, or density, of field lines on a source charge indicate the amount of charge on the source charge. Therefore, the density of field lines on a source charge is directly proportional to quantity of charge on the source.

Multiple-Concept Example 9 reviews the concepts that are important in this problem. A drag racer, starting from rest, speeds up
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

V = 90.51 m/s

Explanation:

From the given information:

Initial speed (u) = 0

Distance (S) = 391 m

Acceleration (a) = 18.9 m/s²

Using the relation for the equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

v² - 0² = 2as

v² = 2as

v = \sqrt{2as}

v = \sqrt{2*18.9*391}

v = 121.57 m/s

After the parachute opens:

The initial velocity = 121.57 m/ss

Distance S' = 332 m

Acceleration = -9.92 m/s²

How fast is the racer can be determined by using the relation:

V=  \sqrt{v^2 + 2aS'}

V = \sqrt{121.57^2+ 2 (-9.92)(332)}

V = 90.51 m/s

When sound is created it travels to the car through a
Rasek [7]

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations and carried through a substance. The particles of the substance, such as air particles, vibrate back and forth along the path that the sound waves travel. Sound is transmitted through the vibrations and collisions of the particles.
