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

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg    

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V     (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}    

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg
