How are the planets sizes related to their surface gravity

Physics
1 answer:
dexar [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet

Explanation:

The gravity at the surface of a planet is given by:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

We see from the formula that the surface gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet, R.

At the Earth's surface, the value of the surface gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.

car rides on four wheels that are connected to the body of the car by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down ove
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

78.4 KN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass of person 'm' =80 kg

car dips about i.e spring stretched 'x'=   1 cm  => 0.01m

acceleration due to gravity 'g'= 9.8 m/s^2

as we know that,in order to find approximate spring constant we use Hooke's Law i.e  F=kx

where,

F = the force needed

x= distance the spring is stretched or compressed beyond its natural length

k= constant of proportionality called the spring constant.

F=kx ---> (since f=mg)

mg=kx

k=(mg)/x

k=(80 x 9.8)/ 0.01

k=78.4x10^3

k=78.4 KN/m

Two small children decide it would be fun to toss a couple of large cats at each other. Cat A (7kg) is thrown at 7m/s and cat B
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

V=4.7m/s

Explanations:

Let Ma mass of cat A=7kg

Va velocity of cat A=7m/s

Mb mass of cat b=6.1kg

VB velocity of cat b=2m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

MaVa+MbVb=(Ma+Mb)V

7*7+6.1*2=(7+6.1)V

61.2=13.1V

V=4.7m/s

Which two terms indicate the same area of the body? *
Kruka [31]

Answer:

For example, the toes are anterior to the heel, and the popliteus is posterior to the patella. Superior and inferior, which describe a position above (superior) or below (inferior) another part of the body. For example, the orbits are superior to the oris, and the pelvis is inferior to the abdomen.
