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

A system consists of electrons and protons only. It contains 150 electrons and has a total charge of +22e. What is the mass of t
liubo4ka [24]

According to the statements the number of electrons is 150, then

e = 150

But there is a positive charge of +22e, then the number of protons would be

p = 150+172

If the mass of the electrons is

m_e = 9.11*10^{-31} kg

And the mass of the protong is

m_p = 1.673*10^{-27}kg

We have that the total mass of the system would be

m = e*m_e +pm_p

m = 150 * (9.11*10^{-31})+170(1.673*10^{-27})

m = 2.84547*10^{-25} kg
