An object of mass 0.50 kg is transported to the surface of Planet X where the object’s weight is measured to be 20 N. The radius

of the planet is 4.0 x 10^6 m. What free fall acceleration will the 0.50-kg object experience when transported to a distance of 2.0 x 10^6 m from the surface of this planet?

Answer:

g'=40\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the object, m=0.5\ kg
  • weight of the object on planet x, W=20\ N
  • radius of the planet, R=4\times10^6\ m
  • radial distance between the planet and the object, r=2\times 10^6\ m

<u>Now free fall acceleration on planet X:</u>

W=m.g'

20=0.5\times g'

g'=40\ m.s^{-2} irrespective of the height.

Answer:

17.78 m/s^2

Explanation:

m = 0.5 kg

Weight on the planet, W = 20 N

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of planet, g = W / m

g = 20 / 0.5 = 40 m/s^2

Radius of planet, r = 4 x 10^6 m

height, h = 2 x 10^6 m

Let the acceleration due to gravity at a height is g'.

According to the formula of acceleration due to gravity at height is

g' = g\frac{R^{2}}{(R+h)^{2}}

g' = 40\frac{\left (4\times 10^6  \right )^{2}}{(4+2)^{2}\times 10^{12}}

g' = 17.78 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity at height is  17.78 m/s^2 .

If you increase the length ? of a pendulum by a factor of 9, how will the period t increase?
garik1379 [7]
T = 2 * pie √(L/g)

so, if length is increased by 9

then time period is increased by √9 = 3

hope it helped :)

Assessing and monitoring your fluid levels will help you optimize your car's _______.
juin [17]

Answer:

A. fuel mileage and longevity          

Explanation:

           For a person purchasing a car, car longevity is one of the main concern. They are also interested in many things such as maximum mileage and service life.

           By properly monitoring and assessing few measures one can maintain the efficiency and longevity of the car. One such thing is by monitoring the liquid levels of the car. Certain liquids like the coolant or radiator water level should be well maintain in proper level in order to run the car economically.

Thus by doing this, one can optimize the car's longevity and the fuel mileage.

Hence the correct option is (A).

sashaice [31]

Answer:

22.36 rad

Explanation:

Applying,

ω = θ/t.............. Equation 1

Where ω  = angular velocity, θ = angular displacement of the baseball, t = time

make θ the subject of the equation

θ = ωt............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: ω = 350 rev/min = 350(0.10472) = 36.652 rad/s, t = 0.61 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

θ = 0.61(36.652)

θ = 22.36 rad

Hence the angular displacement of the baseball is  22.36 rad
