Answer:

A) 2/9 g

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity (free fall acceleration) of the earth is given as:

g = GM/R² _________ (1)

Where G = gravitational constant

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

For the newly discovered planet having twice the mass of earth and thrice it's radius, free fall acceleration will be:

a = (G*2M)/(3R)²

a = 2MG/9R² ________ (2)

Making G subject of formula in (1),

G = R²g/M

Putting this into (2):

a = (2 * M * R² * g)/(9 * R² * M)

=> a = 2g/9

You are making a telephone out of two aluminum cans and some string. You can choose between two types of string: a 2-m length of
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C)You should use the thin cooking twine.

Explanation:

A)You can choose either because they are the same length and will produce the same wave speed.

B)You should use the heavy rope.

C)You should use the thin cooking twine.

The speed of wave in a string is given by the following formula:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{u} }

Where |v| = speed of wave, F_T = tension in the string, and μ = mass per length of the string.

<em>Even though the two strings have the same length, the μ (mass/length) for the heavy rope will be more than the that of a thin rope. Consequently, the </em>F_T<em>:μ for the thin rope will be higher than that of the heavy rope and as such, gives a bigger |</em>v<em>|. </em>

Therefore, the thin rope should be used in order to get a faster wave speed in the telephone.

The correct option is C.

What is the kinetic energy of a 74.0 kg skydiver falling at a terminal velocity of 52.0m/s?
skad [1K]

Answer:

100,048

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2 m (v)^2

K.E = 1^/2 * 74 * (52)^2

K.E = 100,048J =100.048kJ

If a dog is mass iS 14.3 kg what is it’s weight on earth
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Weight of the dog on surface of earth is 140.14 Newton.

Given:

mass of the dog = 14.3 kg

To find:

Weight of the dog = ?

Formula used:

Weight of the dog is given by,

W = mg

Where, W = weight of the dog

m = mass of the dog

g = acceleration due to gravity

Solution:

Weight of the dog is given by,

W = mg

Where, W = weight of the dog

m = mass of the dog = 14.3 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity

W = 14.3 × 9.8

W = 140.14 Newton

Weight of the dog on surface of earth is 140.14 Newton.
