Answer:

B) 2 times what it now is

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Earth

R is the Earth's radius

In this problem, the mass of the Earth is doubled:

M' = 2M

while the radius remains the same:

R' = R

so the new acceleration due to gravity would be

g'=\frac{GM'}{R'^2}=\frac{G(2M)}{R^2}=2\frac{GM}{R^2}=2g

so, the acceleration due to gravity would become twice the current value.

Note also that the value of g does not depend on the mass of the objects involved.

1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant
Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J

Calculate the moment of inertia for each scenario: (a) An 80.0 kg skater is approximated as a cylinder with a 0.140 m radius. (b
Zina [86]

Answer:

a) the moment of inertia is 0.784 Kg*m²

b) the moment of inertia is with arms extended is 1.187 Kg*m²

c) the angular velocity in scenario (b) is 4.45 rad/s

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is calculated as

I = ∫ r² dm

since

I = Ix + Iy

and since the cylinder rotates around the y-axis then Iy=0 and

I = Ix = ∫ x² dm

if we assume the cylinder has constant density then

m = ρ * V = ρ * π R²*L = ρ * π x²*L

therefore

dm = 2ρπL* x dx

and

I = ∫ x² dm = ∫ x² 2ρπL* x dx = 2ρπL∫ x³ dx = 2ρπL (R⁴/4 - 0⁴/4) = ρπL R⁴ /2 =  mR² /2

therefore

I skater = mR² /2 = 80 Kg * (0.140m)²/2 = 0.784 Kg*m²

b) since the arms can be seen as a thin rod

m = ρ * V = ρ * π R²*L = ρ * π R²*x

dm =ρ * π R² dx

I1 = ∫ x² dm = ∫ x² * ρ * π R² dx = ρ * π R²*∫ x² dx = ρ * π R²* ((L/2)³/3 - (-L/2)³/3)

= ρ * π R²*2*L³/24 = mL²/12

therefore

I skater 2 = I1 + I skater =  mL²/12 + mR² /2= 8 Kg* (0.85m)²/12 +(80-8) Kg * (0.140m)²/2 = 1.187 Kg*m²

c)  from angular momentum conservation

I s2 * ω s2 = I s1 * ω s1

thus

ω s2 = (I s1 / I s2 )* ω s1 /= (0.784 Kg*m²/1.187 Kg*m²) * 6.75 rad/s = 4.45 rad/s

Ken’s community is completely dependent on agriculture for their income. They cultivate and breed domestic species for their foo
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

D. agrarian

Explanation:

The agrarian society is a society that is strictly revolving around the agriculture and animal farming for its survival. In this type of society, the people are only engaged in producing food, be it by planting and raising certain crops or breeding domesticated animals. The main purpose of this type of society is to be able to produce enough food for the whole year, so it is a self maintaining society that consumes as much as it produces. The situation described about Ken is a reflection of this type of society.

In an electric furnace used for refining steel, the temperature is monitored by measuring the radiant power emitted through a sm
stiks02 [169]

Answer: 3.7×10¹²watts

Explanation:

Radiation is one of the mode of heat transfer and modes differs from each other based on their medium of heat transfer. Radiation is a process of transferring heat energy from one point to another without heating the intervening medium (no material medium is required).

According to Stefan's law of radiation, the rate of emission of radiant energy is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.

Mathematically, R = eAT⁴

e is constant of proportionality called emissivity. Emissivity varies depending on the type of body being considered.

For the question, we are considering black body and emissivity of black body is 1 being a perfect body.

A is the area of the body

T is the absolute temperature

e = 1

A = 0.5cm²

T = 1650°C

Rate of radiation = 1×0.5×1650⁴

= 3.7×10¹²watts.

The hole will therefore radiate 3.7×10¹²watts
