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>

Energy waves traveling at the speed of light are called _____.
koban [17]
RADIATION

There are three types of heat transfer or heat propagation; conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is the process by which heat projects externally however, depending on the temperature and pressure. Also called the movement of heat from a low temperatured state which increases as heat progresses.
Conduction is the heat transfer by contact, immediate contact.
Convection is the transfer of heat through air and water.
<span>Radiation is the transfer of heat regardless of the presence of atoms or particles.<span>

an ice skater starts with a velocity 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 degree direction after 8.33s she is moving 4.65 m/s in a 120 degree dire
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

-0.032 m/s^2

Explanation:

To answer the question, we just need to consider the motion along the horizontal direction.

The component of the initial velocity of the ice skater along the x-direction is:

u_x = u cos \theta =(2.25)(cos 50^{\circ})=1.45 m/s

where u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity and 50^{\circ} is the angle.

The component of the final velocity of the ice skater along the x-direction is

v_x = u cos \theta =(4.65)(cos 120^{\circ})=-2.33 m/s

where u = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity and 120^{\circ} is the angle.

The acceleration along the x-direction is given by

a_x=\frac{v_x-u_x}{t}

where

t = 120 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{-2.33-(1.45)}{120}=-0.032 m/s^2

What would the reaction force of a person be that stands completely still with a mass of 100 kg?
Anastaziya [24]

-981N would be the reaction force of a person be that stands completely still with a mass of 100 kg.

An opposing force to an action force is referred to as a reaction force. The response force that results from surface engagement and adhesion while sliding is known as friction. Usually, the activities of applied forces result in reaction forces and reaction moments.

As,

F = ma

where, F = force

           m = mass of object

           a = acceleration due to gravity

Plugging in the values we get,

F = 100kg × 9.81m/s

F = 981 N

Since, reaction force acts opposite to action force so the correct answer is -981N.
