Given that the mass of the Earth is 5.972 * 10^24 kg and the radius of the Earth is

Physics

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>

DNA’s diameter is 0.000000002 meters. What is this measurement in scientific notation? a. 2.0 x 109 m
NARA [144]

Answer:

0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

Scientific notation allows us to write very large or very small numbers in abbreviated form. This notation simply consists of multiplying by a power of base 10 with a positive or negative exponent.

A number written in scientific notation has the form:

a*10ⁿ

where:

  • the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a <10
  • n is an integer.  Represents the number of times the decimal point is shifted. It is always a whole number, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

So to write the number 0.000000002 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:

  • The decimal point is moved to the right as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit.
  • This number is then written, which will be the coefficient a in the expression of the previous product. So a=2.0
  • The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the comma moves. So n=9. But this is a negative number because the comma shifts to the right.

So, you get: <u><em>0.000000002 m=2.0*10⁻⁹ m</em></u>

Explain the following statement: A concentrated acid is not necessarily a strong acid.
andrezito [222]
Concentration involves the relative amounts of solvent and solute in a solution, when strength is related to the extent to which a substance dissociates :))

Why polarization does not occur in dry cell?​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Manganese oxide prevents polarisation in dry cells. - Polarization is a defect that occurs in simple electric cells due to the accumulation of hydrogen gas around the positive electrode. ... - MnO2 reacts with H2 and forms water as byproduct, so depolarization doesn't occur.

The LR5 is the specialist submarine for underwater rescue. The average density of seawater is 1028 kg/ m3.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

P = 7196 [kPa]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the expression that defines the pressure depending on the height of water column.

P = dens*g*h

where:

dens = 1028 [kg/m^3]

g = 10 [m/s^2]

h = 700 [m]

Therefore:

P = 1028*10*700

P = 7196000 [Pa]

P = 7196 [kPa]
