Physics
1 answer:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation :  A light year is measurement  of distance  that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

and  time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is 9.4608\times10^{15} meter

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.

A hypothetical planet has a mass of one-half that of the earth and a radius of twice that of the earth.
Fed [463]
<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity

                  g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

         G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m² kg⁻¹ s⁻²

  Let mass of earth be M and radius of earth be r.

  We have

               g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

Now

         A hypothetical planet has a mass of one-half that of the earth and a radius of twice that of the earth.

       Mass of hypothetical planet, M' = M/2

       Radius of hypothetical planet, r' = 2r

  Substituting

              g'=\frac{GM'}{r'^2}\\\\g'=\frac{G\times \frac{M}{2}}{(2r)^2}\\\\g'=\frac{\frac{GM}{r^2}}{8}\\\\g'=\frac{g}{8}

Option A is the correct answer.
