Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12

tangare [24]

Answer:

56.86153 N

Explanation:

t =Time taken

F = Force

Power

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow W=P\times t\\\Rightarrow W=77\times 0.96\\\Rightarrow W=73.92\ Joules

Work done

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{73.92}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow F=56.86153\ N

The magnitude of the force that is exerted on the handle is 56.86153 N

A 0.540-kg bucket rests on a scale. Into this bucket you pour sand at the constant rate of 56.0 g/s. If the sand lands in the bu
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) 12.8212 N

b) 12.642 N

Explanation:

Mass of bucket = m = 0.54 kg

Rate of filling with sand  = 56.0 g/ sec = 0.056 kg/s

Speed of sand = 3.2 m/s

g= 9.8 m/sec2

<u>Condition (a);</u>

Mass of sand = Ms = 0.75 kg

So total mass becomes = bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

== > total weight = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N

Now impact of sand = rate of filling × velocity = 0.056 × 3.2 =  0.1792 kg. m /sec2=0.1792 N

Scale reading is sum of impact of sand and weight force ;

i-e

scale reading = 12.642 N+0.1792 N = 12.8212 N

<u>Codition (b);</u>

bucket mass + sand mass = 0.54 +0.75=1.29 kg

==>weight = mg = 1.29 × 9.8 = 12.642 N (readily calculated above as well)

1. The statement about Newton's reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.
