Answer:

6.38\cdot 10^6 m

Explanation:

The planet can be thought as a solid sphere rotating around its axis. The moment of inertia of a solid sphere rotating arount the axis is

I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2

where

M is the mass

R is the radius

For the planet in the problem, we have

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg

I=9.74\cdot 10^{37} kg\cdot m^2

Solving the equation for R, we find the radius of the planet:

R=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2M}}=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74\cdot 10^{37}}{2(5.98\cdot 10^{24}}}=6.38\cdot 10^6 m

The correct option is C.
From the information given above, one can easily conclude that electromagnetic Y is the strongest because, it produces the higher amount of current compare to the other electromagnets. Electromagnet W is the weakest because it produces the lowest amount of current.

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light
larisa [96]
<span>The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / </span>1.50 × 10^8 km <span>) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

</span>2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h

an object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. at what velocity will it hit the ground? a 7.0 m/s b 11 m/s c 22 m/s d 49 m/s e
kipiarov [429]
Assuming that the object starts at rest, we know the following values:

distance = 25m
acceleration = 9.81m/s^2 [down]
initial velocity = 0m/s

we want to find final velocity and we don't know the time it took, so we will use the kinematics equation without time in it:

Velocity final^2 = velocity initial^2 + 2 × acceleration × distance

Filling everythint in, we have:

Vf^2 = 0^2 + (2)(-9.81)(-25)
The reason why the values are negative is because they are going in the negative direction

Vf^2 = 490.5

Take the square root of that

Final velocity = 22.15m/s which is answer c
