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

Two point charges, initially 2.0 cm apart, experience a 1.0 N force. If they are moved to a new separation of 0.25 cm, what is t
den301095 [7]

Explanation:

Th electric force between charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. It means,

F\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

Initial distance, r₁ = 2 cm

Final distance, r₂ = 0.25 cm

Initial force, F₁ = 1 N    

We need to find the electric force between charges if the new separation of 0.25 cm. So,

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=(\dfrac{r_2}{r_1})^2\\\\F_2=\dfrac{F_1r_1^2}{r_2^2}\\\\F_2=\dfrac{1\times 2^2}{(0.25)^2}\\\\F_2=64\ N

So, the new force is 64 N if the separation between charges is 64 N.

What do behaviorism and cognitive psychology have in common?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Both attempt to explain human behavior

Explanation:

Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.

Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.

Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.

When you polish a window with a dry cloth on a dry day it becomes dusty why does this not happen on a wet day
barxatty [35]

When glass is rubbed with a dry cloth, the friction creates charged static electricity; this in turn attracts small non charged particles of dust. The simplest way to put it, the dry cloth creates a static charge that attracts non charged dust particles.
