Answer:

2 g/9

Explanation:

mass of planet, Mp = 2 x Me

radius of planet, Rp = 3 x Re

Where, Me is the mass of earth and Re is the radius of earth.

The formula for acceleration due to gravity on earth is given by

g = \frac{GM_{e}}{R_{e}^{2}}     .... (1)

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is given by

g' = \frac{GM_{p}}{R_{p}^{2}}

By substituting the values, we get

g' = \frac{2GM_{e}}{9R_{e}^{2}}    ..... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

g'/g = 2/9

g' = 2 g/9

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on th enew planet is 2 g/9.

Answer:

g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

G = Gravitational constant

R = Radius of Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

On new planet

g_n=\dfrac{G2M}{(3R)^2}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}

Dividing the two equations we get

\dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}}{\dfrac{GM}{R^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{2}{9}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

OleMash [197]

Answer:

My scenario would be A Car vs. a guard rail on a road.  You have a car that is coming down a Highway at a speed of 43 Mph Miles per hour (69.2018 Kmh)

And it hits a steel guardrail and the car smashes in at the front and the guardrail is only bent while the car has the bumper and the hood along with the headlights and windshield along with the passenger side window break.

Explanation:

This is caused by so much force reacting from one object to another but also depends on molecular density.

klemol [59]

Answer:

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Change in velocity = 19 m/s

Change in time = 4 s

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

Acceleration = Change in velocity / Change in time

Acceleration = 19/4

Acceleration = 4.8 m/s²

Positive acceleration
