Answer:

gₓ = 6.52 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth is given as:

g = GM/R²   -------------------- equation 1

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M = Mass of Earth

R = Radius of Earth

Now, for the alien planet:

gₓ = GMₓ/Rₓ²

where,

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity at the surface of alien planet

Mₓ = Mass of Alien Planet = 2.4 M

Rₓ = Radius of Alien Planet = 1.9 R

Therefore,

gₓ = G(2.4 M)/(1.9 R)²

gₓ = 0.66 GM/R²

using equation 1

gₓ = 0.66 g

gₓ = (0.66)(9.81 m/s²)

<u>gₓ = 6.52 m/s²</u>

What type of modulation is typically used by broadcasting stations to transmit pictures on television screens?
erik [133]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Amplitude

Explanation:

When transmitting picture signals over the air by broadcasting stations, the signals are shifted into high frequency channels of Very High Frequency (VHF) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) carrier currents and imposing the the television signal by changing the amplitude of the high frequency carrier current to match the transmitted television signal waveform shape

What an object is placed 8 mm from a concave spherical mirror a clear image can be projected on the screen 16 mm in front of me
alexgriva [62]

Concept: The magnification of spherical mirror can be defined by two ways.

(i) In terms of the height of the object and image.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the ratio of the height of the image'h_{i}' to the height of the object 'h_{o}'. It is denoted by letter 'm'.

Mathematically, it can be written as

m= \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   ------------(1)

(ii) In terms of the object's and image's distances.

The magnification of the spherical mirror is defined as the negative ratio of the image distance'd_{i}' to the object distance 'd_{o}'.

Mathematically, it can be written as

m= - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}   ------------(2)

Now, from equation (1) and (2) we have,

m = \frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   = -  \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}  -----------(3)

Given: Spherical Concave Mirror,

We will consider positive sign for object's and image's distance because both are in front of the mirror.

Object distance (d_{o}) = + 8 mm.

Image distance (d_{i}) = + 16 mm

Object's height (h_{o}) = + 4 mm

Image's height (h_{i}) =?

Now, apply equation (3)

\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}}   = - \frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}

Or,   \frac{h_{i}}{4 mm}   = - \frac{+16 mm}{+8 mm}

Or, hi = - 8 mm

Here; negative sign means, the image will be inverted.

The image's height will be 8 mm.

Which physical phenomena is responsible for the earth’s sky appearing blue? scattering reflection dispersion refraction
klio [65]

Answer:  Scattering reflection

Sunlight reaches earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gasses and particles in the air. Blue light is seen more than others because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
