With a bit of algebraic reasoning find your gravitational acceleration toward any planet of mass M a distance d from its center.
grandymaker [24]

The acceleration due to gravity is given as:

                             g = GM/r²

<h3>Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to Newton's law of gravity,

F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²

F<em>g = </em>gravitational force

From Newton's second law of motion,

F<em>g </em>= ma

a = F<em>g</em>/m

We can refer to "a" as "g"

a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²

g = GM/(r + h)²

When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,

g = GM/r²

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED.<br>what is an alloy?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.

The element selenium (Se) bonds with chlorine (Cl) to make the formula SeCl2 Chlorine is more electronegative than selenium. Wha
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Selenium dichloride

Explanation:

Selenium (Se) and Chlorine (Cl) are both elements capable of combining together to form a compound with the chemical formula; SeCl2. Since the chlorine atom is more electronegative than selenium atom, the chlorine pulls more electrons towards itself to form an IONIC bond.

The SeCl2 compound formed is called Selenium dichloride as two atoms of Chlorine are needed to combine with one atom of Selenium to form the compound.

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 15.625 m/s2 as it goes around a curve. If the curve is a circle with radius 40 m, w
myrzilka [38]
The centripetal acceleration is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, a_c = 15.625 m/s^2 and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s
