Ans: C) 300,000 kilometers per second

Electromagnetic waves are created by the movement of charges. This results in the generation of electric and magnetic fields which oscillate in a direction perpendicular to each other.

Electromagnetic waves carry a certain wavelength, frequency and speed. The speed of such waves as they travel through space is equal to the speed of light (c) = 3*10⁸ m/s

since 1 km = 10³ m

speed, c = 1 km * 3*10⁸ ms-1/10³ m

= 300, 000 km/s

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso

nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, $M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Radius of a planet, $R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m$

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}$

$g=2.91\ m/s^2$

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}$

$v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}$

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

2 ways to change frictional force between 2 objects

Zanzabum

In order to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces, it can be changed by shorter distances and by the amount of weight it has or the amount of force that is pushing that object to go however distance it can.
