Answer:

6.81 m/s^2

Explanation:

Radius of planet, Rp = R + 0.2R = 1.2 R

where, R is the radius of earth

Mass of planet = mass of earth = M

Let g be the acceleration due to gravity and g' be the acceleration due to gravity on planet.

the formula for acceleration due to gravity on earth

g=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}   .... (1)

the formula for acceleration due to gravity on planet

g'=\frac{GM}{1.44R^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) be equation (1)

g' = g / 1.44

g' = 9.8 / 1.44 = 6.81 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on surface of planet is 6.81 m/s^2.

Answer:

g_2=6.8125 m^2/sec

Explanation:

We know that

Acceleration due to gravity g is given by the formula

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

G= gravitational constant

M= mass of the Earth

r= radius of the earth

g_1 = GM/r_1^2

Let acc. due to gravity after radius is 20% greater be g_2

then

g_2=GM/r_2^2

=> g1/g2 = (r_2/r_1)^2 => g2 = 9.81/1.2^2 = 6.8125

A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

A rock is placed into a graduated cylinder containing 80 mL of water. What is the volume of the rock if the water level rises to
erastovalidia [21]
Ok so the expression that you will be doing is water-water+object. The actual expression is 120-80. The answer would be 40mL. Remember, don't forget your units! :)

How is newtons third law of motion demonstrated on a roller coaster?
butalik [34]
<span>Newton's Third Law of Action-Reaction is that for each and every action that happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction to it. In the scenario of a roller coaster, this is when you push down on the seat of the roller coaster as it flies along and the seat pushes back against you.</span>

Why is the sky blue?
Taya2010 [7]
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Una carga de -10Mc está situada a 20cm delante de otra carga de 5 Mc. Calcular la fuerza electrostática en Newton ejercida por u
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

a)  force between them is attraction,   b)  F = 1.125 10⁻² N

Explanation:

In this case the electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

           

In the exercise they give us the values ​​of the loads

          q1 = - 10 mC = -10 10⁻³ C

          q2 = 5 mC = 5 10⁻³ C

           d = 20 cm = 0.20 m

let's calculate

          F = 9 10⁹ \frac{10 \ 10^{-3} \ 5 \ 10^{-3}}{0.20^2}

          F = 1.125 10⁻² N

To find the direction of the force we use that charges of the same sign repel each other, as in this case there is a positive and a negative charge, the force between them is attraction
