Papessa [141]3 years ago

Answer:

9.78 m/s²

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the gravitational formula

g = GM/r², where

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of the planet

r = radius of the planet

From the question, we got that the mass of the planet is

M = 9ME, where ME = 5.95*10^24

M = 9 * 5.95*10^24

M = 5.355*10^25 kg

Also, the Radius of the planet, R = 3RE, where RE = 6.37*10^6

R = 3 * 6.37*10^6

R = 1.911*10^7 m

On applying the values of both R and M to the equation, we get

g = GM/r²

g = (6.67*10^-11 * 5.355*10^25) / (1.911*10^7)²

g = 3.57*10^15/3.65*10^14

g = 9.78 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 9.78 m/s²

An electron is moving in the presence of an electric field of 400 N/C. What force does the electron experience?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Electric Field strength E=400\ N/C

charge of electron q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Force on the charge particle is given by

F=qE

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 400

F=640\times 10^{-19}\ N

but this force will be acting in the direction opposite to the direction of Electric field because electron is negatively charged

A helicopter flies 25 km north, 5 km east, then 5 km S, then 15 km W. What is the resultant displacement and direction of the he
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plotting the original location of the helicopter before it flies 25 km north, it would be at the origin, (0,0) then after it flies north, the y vertex gains 25 points, so it would be (0,25)

After it flies east, the x coordinate gains 5 points, so it would now be (5,25)

After it flies south, the y coordinate loses or is subtracted by 5 points. so it would now be (5,20)

After flying west, the x coordinate loses 15 points. So the final vertex would be at (-10,20)

East = Right

West = Left

South= Down

North = Up

I used mainly mathematical methods by adding and subtracting the x and y coordinate values, but this could be graphed easily since I gave the coordinates just incase!

Hope this helps!

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel
solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming  5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = \frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}

It takes 130 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10m. (a) What is the force constant of this spring? (b) To compress the sp
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J

Distance, x = 0.1 m

(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2\times 130}{(0.1)^2}\\\\k=26000\ N/m

(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m

So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26000\times 0.2^2\\\\W=520\ J

So, the new work is more than 130 J.
