If the mass of a planet is 0.231 mE and its radius is 0.528 rE, estimate the gravitational field g at the surface of the planet.

The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s 2 and the value of the universal gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N · m2 /kg2 . Answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer:

8.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational field at the surface of a planet is given by

g=\frac{GM}{R^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For the Earth:

g_E = \frac{GM_E}{R_E^2}=9.8 m/s^2

For the unknown planet,

M_X = 0.231 M_E\\R_X = 0.528 R_E

Substituting into the eq.(1), we find the gravitational acceleration of planet X relative to that of the Earth:

g_X = \frac{GM_X}{R_X^2}=\frac{G(0.231M_E)}{(0.528R_E)^2}=\frac{0.231}{0.528^2}(\frac{GM_E}{R_E^2})=0.829 g_E

And substituting g = 9.8 m/s^2,

g_X = 0.829(9.8)=8.1 m/s^2

Qual a capacidade térmica de um objeto que, ao receber 10000 cal de energia, tem sua temperatura elevada de 25°C para 75°C?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

200 cal/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

When heat energy is supplied to an object, the temperature of the object increases according to the equation:

Q=C\Delta T

where

Q is the heat supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem we have:

Q=10,000 cal is the energy supplied

\Delta T=75C-25C=50C is the change in temperature of the object

Therefore, the heat capacity of the object is:

C=\frac{Q}{\Delta T}=\frac{10,000}{50}=200 cal/^{\circ}C

A vehicle that goes from 5m/s to 45m/s in 8s. what is its acceleration?
GaryK [48]

Answer: 5m/s^2

Explanation:

V= 45m/s

U = 5m/s

t = 8s

a =?

V = u + at

45 = 5 + 8a

8a = 45 — 5

8a = 40

a = 40 / 8

a = 5m/s^2

How does changing the potential difference in a circuit affect the current and the resistance?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The current will be increased and also for the resistance.

Explanation:

The analysis of a direct current circuit can give us the explanation we need. Using the ohm law, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance we have:

V=I*R\\where\\V= voltage [V]\\I= amperes [amp]\\R=resistance [ohm]\\

The voltage is equal to the potential difference therefore we will have these expressions:

I=\frac{V}{R} \\R= \frac{V}{I}

If we increase the potential differential or circuit voltage, the current will also increase and so does the resistance by increasing the voltage. If we put numerical values in the equation given before, we can confirm this fact.
