A rocket has landed on Planet X, which has half the radius of Earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on Pla
Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

A boat takes 3.0 hours to travel 50 km down a river, then 5.4 hours to return. Determine the speed of the water in the river.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3.7 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call v the proper speed of the boat and v' the speed of the water in the river.

When the boat travels in the direction of the current, the speed of the boat is:

v + v'

And it covers 50 km in 3 h, so we can write

v+v' = \frac{50 km}{3 h}=16.7 km/h (1)

When the boat travels in the opposite direction, the speed of the boat is

v - v'

And it covers 50 km in 5.4 h, so

v-v'=\frac{50 km}{5.4 h}=9.3 km/h (2)

So we have a system of two equations: by solving them simultaneously, we find the value of v and v':

v+v'=16.7 \\v-v'=9.3

Subtracting the second equation from the first one we get:

(v+v')-(v-v')=16.7-9.3\\2v'=7.4\\v'=3.7

So, the speed of the water is 3.7 km/h.

State two factors that affect the rate of diffusion of a substance
Ronch [10]

Explanation:

<em>Two</em><em> </em><em>factors</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>affect</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>rater</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>diffusion</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>substance</em><em> </em><em>are</em><em>:</em><em> </em>

  • <em>Diffusion</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>substance</em><em> </em><em>plays</em><em> </em><em>an</em><em> </em><em>important</em><em> </em><em>role</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>cellular</em><em> </em><em>transport</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>plants</em><em>.</em><em> </em>
  • <em>Diffusion</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>passive</em><em> </em><em>movement</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>substance</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>region</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>higher</em><em> </em><em>concentration</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>region</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>lower</em><em> </em><em>concentration</em><em>. </em>

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in x=3

The maximum is:

f(3) = 39

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0

-4*2x + 24=0

8x=24

x=3

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If f (3) ''< 0 the function has a maximum

If f (3) '' >0 the function has a minimum

f(x)''= 8

Note that:

f(3)''= -8

the function has a maximum in x=3

The maximum is:

f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39
