Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

nevsk [136]

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

Thus, the answer is D.

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 34.0 M/s at the edge of a roof top. Find the horizontal and vertical componen

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$v_x=34 m/s$

$v_y=53.9\ m/s$

Explanation:

Horizontal Launch

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:

vx=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

$v_y=g.t$

The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:

$v_x=34 m/s$

The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:

$v_y=9.8*5.5=53.9$

$v_y=53.9\ m/s$
