Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of a planet, R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}

g=2.91\ m/s^2

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2.0 kg wooden block is slid along a concrete surface (μk = 0.21) with an initial speed of 15 m/s. How far will the block slide
exis [7]

Answer:

The distance is 54.6 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.0 kg

Frictional coefficient = 0.21

Initial velocity = 15 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of frictional force  

F = \mu mg

F=0.21\times2.0\times9.8

F = 4.12\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

F = ma

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a =\dfrac{4.12}{2.0}

a=2.06\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the initial velocity

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2-2as

Put the value  

0=15^2-2\times2.06\times s

s = \dfrac{15^2}{2\times2.06}

s=54.6\ m

Hence, The distance will be 54.6 m.

How many grams does 15.58 L of gasoline weigh? Gasoline has a density of 0.74 g/mL
Korolek [52]

We are given volume of gasoline = 15.58 L and

Density = 0.74 g/mL.

Density is given in grams(g) per milliliter (mL). So, we need to convert given volume in mL also.

We know, 1 litre = 1000 milliliters

Therefore, 15.58 L = 15.58 * 1000 mL = 15580 mL

We could rewrite,

Volume of gasoline = 15580 mL.

Formula for density is..

Density (ρ)= \frac{Mass}{ Volume}

Plugging values in formula,

0.74  g/mL = \frac{Mass}{15580 \ mL}

Muliplying both sides by 15580.

0.74 g/mL * 15580mL =\frac{Mass}{15580 \ mL} * 15580mL

11529.2g = mass.

Therefore, 11529.2g grams does 15.58 L of gasoline weigh.

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?
Gnesinka [82]

Complete question is;

A baseball bat is a lever. Which of the following explains how a baseball bat differs from a lever like a pry bar?

A) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

B) In a baseball bat, effort force is smaller and is applied over a large distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

D) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a short distance.

Answer:

C) In a baseball bat, effort force is larger and is applied over a short distance, while the resistance force is smaller and is applied over a long distance.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C. This is because unlike in a pry bar, the effort force when swinging a baseball bat is larger and it is applied over a short distance; and in return the resisting force is smaller and it's applied over a long distance.

After a projectile is fired into the air, what is the magnitude of the acceleration
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Option A;  9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

When an object is in the air, and there is no air resistance acting on the object, the only force that will act on the object is the gravitational force (on the vertical axis).

Then, if the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

We know that the gravitational acceleration is equal to:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then the acceleration on the vertical axis will be equal to:

a(t) = 9.8m/s^2

The correct option is the first one:

A. 9.8 m/s^2
