Which of the following observations indicates that an object is falling at terminal velocity?

vitfil [10]

Answer: D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity

The Sun has a mass of 1.99x10^30 kg and a radius of 6.96x10^8 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity, in meters per second

just olya [345]

Answer:

$g=274\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Mass of the Sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

The radius of the Sun, $r=6.96\times 10^8\ m$

We need to find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun. It is given by the formula as follows :

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\\g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}{(6.96\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274\ m/s^2$

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity on the Sun is $274\ m/s^2$ .

If you stood on a planet with four times the mass of Earth, and twice Earth's radius, how much would you weigh?

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1/4 times your earth's weight

Explanation:

assuming the Mass of earth = M

Radius of earth = R

∴ the mass of the planet= 4M

the radius of the planet = 4R

gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

where G is the gravitational constant

Gravitational force of the planet = $\frac{G4M}{(4R)^{2} }$

= $\frac{G4M}{16R^{2} }$

= $\frac{GM}{4R^{2} }$

recall, gravitational force of earth is given as = $\frac{GM}{R^{2} }$

∴Gravitational force of planet = 1/4 times the gravitational force of the earth

you would weigh 1/4 times your earth's weight

Which types of numbers does scientific notation best describe?

Travka [436]

The correct answer is
c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
 $0.0000000001$
we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
 $1\cdot 10^{-10}$
2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
 $10000000000$
we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
 $1 \cdot 10^{10}$

Which formation is one feature of karst topography?

steposvetlana [31]

Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering- resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.
