Answer:

free-fall acceleration = 12.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Formula for free fall acceleration is given by the gravity equation;

g = Gm/r²

Where;

M is mass of the Earth

r is radius of the Earth

G is the gravitational constant

Now, that equation applies to the earth.

For this new planet, we are told that the mass = 5 × mass of earth

And radius = 2 × radius of earth.

Thus, free fall acceleration for this planet is;

g_p = G(5m)/(2r)²

g_p = (5/4)(Gm/r²)

Gravitational constant has a value of 6.674 × 10^(−11) N.m²/kg²

Mass of the earth = 5.972 × 10^(24) kg

Radius of the earth = 6378 km = 6378000

Thus;

g_p = (5/4)(6.674 × 10^(−11) × 5.972 × 10^(24))/(6378000²) = 12.25 m/s²

Explain the difference between the three types of friction
USPshnik [31]
Static Friction

It is the friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting.


Sliding friction

It is the resistance created by two objects sliding against each other.

Rolling friction:-

It is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface.

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV

The power rating of an electric lawn mower is 2000 watts if lawnmower is used for 120 seconds how many joules of work van it do
Scorpion4ik [409]
1 watt = 1 joule/sec

2,000 watts = 2,000 joules/sec

                     (2,000 joule/sec) x (120 sec)

                  = (2,000 x 120)  (joule-sec/sec)

                  =   240,000 joules .
