<h2>a)Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun is 274.21 m/s²</h2><h2>b) Factor of increase in weight is 27.95</h2>

Explanation:

a) Acceleration due to gravity

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

 Here we need to find acceleration due to gravity of Sun,

                G = 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

    Mass of sun, M = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

    Radius of sun, r = 6.957 x 10⁸ m

Substituting,

                g=\frac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}{(6.957\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274.21m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun = 274.21 m/s²

b) Acceleration due to gravity in earth = 9.81 m/s²

   Ratio of gravity = 274.21/9.81 = 27.95

   Weight = mg

  Factor of increase in weight = 27.95

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The Starship Enterprise is powered by combining matter with antimatter. Suppose 1 kg of each are combined and ejected backward at the speed of light, what is the final speed of the Enterprise starting from rest? Assume that the mass of the Enterprise is 10,000 kg and the spaceship does not reach relativistic speed.

A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it
joja [24]

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N
