Given:
Time: 3.5 hrs
Velocity: 120 miles/hr
Now Distance= Speed × Time
Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.
Hence Distance = Velocity x time
Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles
Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.
Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.
g = GM/r^2
Where;
g = acceleration due to gravity
G = gravitational constant
M = mass of planet
r = radius of planet
Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.
60 RPM equals one hertz (i.e., one revolution per second, or a period of one second). The SI unit for period is the second.
