Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity is \dfrac{1}{4} times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 4000 miles

We need to calculate the gravitational force at surface

Gravitational force on the mass m on the surface of the earth

At r = R

F=mg

mg=\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}....(I)

We need to calculate the gravitational force at height

Gravitational force on a mass m from the center of the earth,

At r = R + R = 2 R

F'=mg'

mg'=\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}....(II)

Dividing equation (II) by equation (I)

\dfrac{mg'}{mg}=\dfrac{\dfrac{GmM}{4R^2}}{\dfrac{GmM}{R^2}}

\dfrac{g'}{g}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence, The acceleration due to gravity is \dfrac{1}{4} times the value of g at the Earth’s surface.

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(10)²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(100)

KE = \frac{1}{2} (60000)

KE = 30,000 J

Definition of AM and Fm Wave? in your own word
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

In AM broadcasting, the amplitude of the carrier wave is modulated to encode the original sound. In FM broadcasting, the frequency of the carrier wave is modulated to encode the sound. A radio receiver extracts the original program sound from the modulated radio signal and reproduces the sound in a loudspeaker.

A monatomic gas is adiabatically compressed to 0.250 of its initial volume. Do each of the following quantities change?
Len [333]

Answer:

Given that

V2/V1= 0.25

And we know that in adiabatic process

TV^န-1= constant

So

T1/T2=( V1 /V2)^ န-1

So = ( 1/0.25)^ 0.66= 2.5

Also PV^န= constant

So P1/P2= (V2/V1)^န

= (1/0.25)^1.66 = 9.98

A. RMS speed is

Vrms= √ 3RT/M

But this is also

Vrms 2/Vrms1= (√T2/T1)

Vrms2=√2.5= 1.6vrms1

B.

Lambda=V/4π√2πr²N

So

Lambda 2/lambda 1= V2/V1 = 0.25

So the mean free path can be inferred to be 0.25 times the first mean free path

C. Using

Eth= 3/2KT

So Eth2/Eth1= T2/T1

So

Eth2= 2.5Eth1

D.

Using CV= 3/2R

Cvf= Cvi

So molar specific heat constant does not change
