Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

Physics

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

Suppose a candle is burning, and wind is blowing on one side of the flame. Which principle explains why the flame bends toward t
Mekhanik [1.2K]

When a candle is burning and wind is blowing it on one side of the flame, which causes the flame to bend towards the wind is an example of Bernoulli’s principle. The principle explain that the higher the speed, the lower the pressure becomes. When you blow against one side of the flame, you are creating an area of low pressure. The relatively high-pressure air on the other side of the candle will rush over to fill the area of low pressure that causes the flame to be pushed in the direction of the blowing.

A ball thrown with 50N of force accelerates at 25 m/s2.  What is the mass of the ball?
MrRissso [65]
F=ma
Force is 50N. Acceleration is 25 m/s^2.
50N=m*25 m/s^2
Divide both sides by 25.
mass=2 kg

A long solid conducting cylinder with radius a = 12 cm carries current I1 = 5 A going into the page. This current is distributed
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall use Ampere's circuital law to find magnetic field at required point.

The point is outside the circumference of two given wires so whole current will be accounted for .

Ampere's circuital law

B = ∫ Bdl = μ₀ I

line integral will be over circular path of radius r = 41 cm .

Total current  I  = 5A -3A = 2A .

∫ Bdl = μ₀ I

2π r B = μ₀ I

2π x .41  B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 2

B = 2 x 10⁻⁷ x 2 / .41

= 9.75 x 10⁻⁷ T . It will be along - ve Y - direction.
