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>

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The main difference between a liquid and a gas is that when a liquid is under pressure, its volume "won't change apparently. The reason is that the distance between the molecules of a liquid is relatively small, and the molecules of a liquid extensively withstand the compressive forces. This is similar to the distance between the molecules of a solid."
