Let m = mass of earth 
<span>let r = radius of earth </span>
<span>let a = acceleration due to gravity on earth </span>
<span>G = constant (it doesn't change) </span>

<span>If you plug in the mass and radius of the new planet, you get </span>

<span>a = G (.5m)/(2r)^2 </span>
<span>a = 1/8 (Gm/r^2) </span>

<span>so the acceleration on the new planet is 1/8 what it is here.</span>

Refraction of sound waves often takes place when:
Ainat [17]
<span>Refraction is where the direction of travel of sound waves is altered by passing through a material of much higher or lower density. Walls that allow sound through are one example, but answer B is more about walls bouncing sound back - that's an example of reflection. The most likely change of density is answer A, air with big temperature differences.</span>

Suppose you increase the height of the object without changing its depth under water. What will happen to the force due to press
Natali [406]

Answer:Remains same

Explanation:

Given

It is given that the depth is constant and we are only increasing the  height of object submerged in the water

thus Force due to Pressure remains same as this force depends upon the depth of object with respect to free surface of Fluid.

Pressure at a depth h with density \rhoof fluid is given by

P=\rho \times g\times h

and Force=Pressure \times area

What is the force that opposes motion and works against the downward pull? A) friction B) gravity C) weight D) acceleration
charle [14.2K]
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it is A Friction. because gravity pulls down, weight isn't a force, and acceleration doesn't oppose motion

A proton travels with a speed of 4.2×106 m/s at an angle of 30◦ west of north. A magnetic field of 2.5 T points to the north. Fi
Arada [10]

Answer:

8.4\cdot 10^{-13} N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is given by:

F=qvB sin \theta

where:

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C is the proton charge

v=4.2\cdot 10^6 m/s is the proton velocity

B=2.5 T is the magnetic field

\theta=30^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of v and B

Substituting into the formula, we find

F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(4.2\cdot 10^6 m/s)(2.5 T) sin 30^{\circ}=8.4\cdot 10^{-13} N

You observe a spiral galaxy with a large central bulge and tightly wrapped arms. It would be classified a
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Sa

Explanation:

Spiral Galaxies  -

It is a disk shaped galaxies which have spiral structure , is refereed to as spiral galaxies .

According to Hubble , these galaxies are classified as Sa , Sb , Sc .

Where ,

Sa - have the structure , which is bulged from the central portion , along with a tightly wrapped spiral structure .

Sb - have a lesser bulge and the spiral is looser .

Sc - It has very weak bulge with the open spiral structure .

Hence , from the question ,

The given information is about the Sa .
