An exoplanet with one half of Earth's mass and 50% of Earth's radius is discovered.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

$The \ weight, W =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N$

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

$W_1 =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2} \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2} \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N$

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.

The mass of an atom is

suter [353]

Answer:

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for :D

What is The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum

Talja [164]

The most common value for the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second.

A more accurate number is <span>299 792 458 m/second, but that number is hardly ever used.</span>
