The value of the gravity acceleration on the planet's surface increases

Explanation:

The gravitational acceleration on 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

In this problem, we are told that the planet shrinks, therefore the new radius is smaller than the original radius:

R'

while the mass remains the same:

M'=M

Therefore, the new acceleration of gravity is

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

We see that the value of g is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the planet: therefore, since R', it means that g'>g, so when the planet shrinks, the value of the gravity acceleration on the planet's surface increases.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

13,750 N

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

Find: a and Δx

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 25 m/s) / (4 s)

a = -6.25 m/s²

F = ma

F = (2200 kg) (-6.25 m/s²)

F = -13,750 N

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (0 m/s + 25 m/s) (4 s)

Δx = 50 m
