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>

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the diver = 77kg

Height  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the motion equations.

            v²  = u² + 2gh

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

             v² = 0² + (2 x 9.8 x 8.18)

             v² = 160.3

             v = 12.7m/s

What is the connection between electrons and protons
TEA [102]

Answer:

Electrons and protons are connected with one another in term of charge and size.

Explanation:

  • The size of electron and proton is always same in any atom but they possess opposite charge.
  • Electron in any atom carries negative charge where as proton carries the positive charge.
  • In any neutral atom the charge between electron and proton is balanced along with the size.
  • The nucleus of any atom bounds only proton and neutron but the electron is present revolving around the nucleus.

What resistance must be connected in parallel with a 633-Ω resistor to produce an equivalent resistance of 205 Ω?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

303 Ω

Explanation:

Given

Represent the resistors with R1, R2 and RT

R1 = 633

RT = 205

Required

Determine R2

Since it's a parallel connection, it can be solved using.

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2

Substitute values for R1 and RT

1/205 = 1/633 + 1/R2

Collect Like Terms

1/R2 = 1/205 - 1/633

Take LCM

1/R2 = (633 - 205)/(205 * 633)

1/R2 = 428/129765

Take reciprocal of both sides

R2 = 129765/428

R2 = 303 --- approximated
