Answer:

M = 7.43×10^25 kg

Explanation:

let the mass of the planet be M and r be the radius of the planet and g be the gravitational acceleretion.

then:

the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g = G×M/(r^2)

M = g×r^2/G

= [(41)×(1.1×10^7)^2]/(6.67408×10^-11)

= 7.43×10^25 kg

therefore, the mass of the planet is 7.43×10^25 kg.

Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of projectile = 45°

speed = v₁ = 150 m/s

for second trail

speed = v₂ = ?

angle of projectile = 37°

maximum height attained formula,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{g}$

now,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_1^2 sin^2(\theta_1)}{g}$

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_2^2 sin^2(\theta_2)}{g}$

now, equating both the equations

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{v_1^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(\theta_1)}{sin^2(\theta_2)}$

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{150^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(45^0)}{sin^2(37^0)}$

v₂² = 31061.79

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

velocity of projectile would be equal to v₂ = 176.24 m/s

The fulcrum of a first-class lever divides its 9.0 m arm into two sections—a 6.0 m arm and a 3.0 m arm. You place a rock weighin

nexus9112 [7]

For balancing the lever, force on both the sides shall be equal. so,
Force on 3 m end = m × a = 3 × 98.1 = 294.3

Now, on 6 m end, it would be: = 294.3/6 = 49.05
After rounding-off to the nearest hundredth value, it would be: 49 N

Finally, Option A would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!
