An object of mass 0.50 kg is transported to the surface of Planet X where the object's weight is measured to be 20 N. The radius

of the planet is 4.0 ´ 106 m. What free fall accerleration will the 0.5 kg object experience when at the surface of Planet X. What is the mass of Planet X? (G = 6.67 ´ 10-11 N × m2/kg2)

5 0

Explanation:

The free fall acceleration is:

F = ma

20 N = (0.50 kg) a

a = 40 m/s²

The mass of Planet X is:

F = GMm / r²

20 N = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²) M (0.50 kg) / (4.0×10⁶ m)²

M = 9.6×10²⁴ kg

"The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global tem
padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.

Determine the total amount of heat, in joules, required to completely vaporize a 50.0-gram sample of h2o(?) at its boiling point
Tanzania [10]
In order to calculate the amount of energy required, we must first check the latent heat of vaporization of water from literature. The latent heat of vaporization of any substance is the amount of energy required per unit mass to convert that substance from a solid to a liquid. For water this is 2,260 J/g. We now use the formula:
Energy = mass * latent heat
Q = 50 * 2,260
Q = 113,000 J

113,000 Joules of heat energy are required.
