Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

The force of gravity is equal to the mass times the centripetal acceleration:

Fg = m v² / r

Also, the force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states the Fg = mMG / r², where m and M are the masses of the objects, G is the universal constant of gravitation, and r is the distance between the objects.

mMG / r² = m v²/ r

MG / r = v²

This means the square of the orbital velocity is equal to the mass of the sun times the universal constant of gravity divided by the orbital radius.  So whichever planet has the smallest orbital radius will have the highest orbital velocity.  Of the four options, that would be Mercury.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Option B

It converts light into electric current

Explanation:

A photometer is a device used to measure illuminance

Its principle of operation hinges on the conversion of light into electric current, using photoresistor or any other light sensitive device such as  a photodiode.  This is so that it can be read off easily by any other device.

A Photoresistor is a device that changes the flow of current through it when it is exposed to light rays.  A photometer works by irradiating a photo resistor, which then converts the light rays incident on it to electric current.

I need help with number 23!! Please

Ah hah !  There's an easy way and a hard way to do this one.
If it's OK with you, I'm gonna do it the easy way, and not even
talk about the hard way !

First, let's look at a few things in this question.

-- "gravitational force between a planet and a mass"
    This is just a complicated way to say "How much does the mass weigh ?"
    That's what we have to find.

-- If we know the mass, how do we find the weight ?
   Multiply the mass by the acceleration of gravity there.
   Weight = (mass) x (gravity) .

-- Do we know the acceleration of gravity on this dark mysterious planet ?
    We do if we read the second line of the question !  
    It's right there ... 8.8 m/s² .

-- We know the mass.  We know gravity.  And we know that
    if you multiply them, you get the weight (forced of gravity).

I'm pretty sure that you can do the rest of the solution now.

weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Weight = (17 kg) x (8.8 m/s²)

Multiply them:

Weight = 149.6  kg-m/s²

That complicated-looking unit is the definition of a Newton !

So the weight is  149.6 Newtons.  That's the answer.  It's choice-A.
It's about 33.6 pounds.

When this mass is on the Earth, it weighs about 37.5 pounds.
But when it's on this planet, it only weighs about 33.6 pounds.
That's because gravity is less on this planet. (8.8 there, 9.8 on Earth)
