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>

1. What is energy? What can an object with energy do?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

M (b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.
MaRussiya [10]

The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V  is 6.49\times10^6m/s

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>

We know, that the  energy of the system is always conserved.

Using the Law of Conservation of energy,

\triangle K+\triangle U=0

Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:

(\frac{1}{2} mv^2)+(-q\triangle V) =0------(1)

Here,

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

q is the charge on the electron

V is the potential difference

Let v_f and v_i represent the final and initial speed.

Here, v_i =0

Solving for v_f, we get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{-2q\triangle V}{m} }

=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1.602\times10^{-19}\times 120}{9.109\times10^{-31}} }

=6.49\times10^6m/s

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!
