"two planets have the same mass, but planet a has 3 times the radius of planet

Physics

lyudmila [28]3 years ago

The gravitational acceleration on the surface of planet A is:
g_A =  \frac{GM_A}{r_A^2}
where G is the gravitational constant, M_A is the mass of planet A and r_A its radius.

Similarly, the gravitational acceleration on the surface of planet B is:
g_B = \frac{GM_B}{r_B^2}

The ratio between the gravitational acceleration on planet A and B becomes:
\frac{g_A}{g_B}= \frac{GM_A / r_A^2}{GM_B/r_B^2}  = \frac{M_A r_B^2}{M_B r_A^2}

The problem says that the two masses are equal: M_A = M_B while planet A has 3 times the radius of planet B: r_A = 3 r_B. Substituting into the ratio, we get:
\frac{g_A}{g_B} =  \frac{M_B r_B^2}{M_B (3 r_B)^2} =  \frac{1}{9}

so, gravity on planet B is 9 times stronger than planet A.

You know that you sound better when you sing in the shower. This has to do with the amplification of frequencies that correspond
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

For first overtone

Standing waves will be formed lengthwise and breadth-wise in the enclosures  having dimension of .75m  x 1.5 m

A ) For the formation of lowest two frequencies formed by standing waves along the breadth  , fundamental note and first overtone may be considered.  

For fundamental note ,  

the condition is  

wave length λ = 2L = 2 x 0.75 m  

λ = 1.5 m  

frequency n = v / λ

= 343 / 1.5  

= 229  Hz approx

For first overtone

λ = L = 0.75m

frequency n = v / λ

n = 343 / 0.75  

= 457 Hz approx

B)

For the formation of lowest two frequencies formed by standing waves along the length , fundamental note and first overtone may be considered.  

For fundamental note ,  

the condition is  

wave length λ = 2L = 2 x 1.5 m  

λ = 3 m  

frequency n = v / λ

= 343 / 3  

= 114 Hz approx

frequency n = v / λ

n = 343 / 1.5  

= 229 Hz approx

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s
