The sun is bigger, but has less mass than the earth
CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW
you stood on a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius , you would weigh?
A) four times more than you do on Earth.
B) two times less than you do on Earth.
C) the same as you do on Earth
D) two times more than you do on Earth
Answer:
OPTION C is correct
The same as you do on Earth
Explanation :
According to law of gravitation :
F=GMm/R^2......(a)
F= mg.....(b)
M= mass of earth
m = mass of the person
R = radius of the earth
From law of motion
Put equation b into equation a
mg=GMm/R^2
g=GMm/R^2
g=GM/R^2
We know from question a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius if we substitute we have
m= 4M
r=(2R)^2=4R^2
g= G4M/4R^2
Then, 4in the denominator will cancel out the numerator we have
g= GM/R^2
Therefore, g remain the same
Answer:
Fd
Explanation:
Work is force times distance. If you push on an object really hard but it does not budge, you have still performed no work on it, because anything times zero is still zero.
The initial is where you are starting and the final postion is where the object ends up
