Answer:

g₂ = 11 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of free-fall acceleration on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:

g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}

where,

g = free-fall acceleration

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

m = mass of the planet

r = radius of planet

FOR PLANET 1:

g_1 = \frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2} = 22 m/s^2 --------------------- equation (1)

FOR PLANET 2:

g_2 = \frac{Gm_2}{r_2^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{G(2m_1)}{(2r_1)^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\

using equation (1):

g_2 = \frac{g_1}{2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{22\ m/s^2}{2}

<u>g₂ = 11 m/s²</u>

Six moles of an ideal gas are in a cylinder fitted at one end with a movable piston. The initial temperature of the gas is 28.0
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

63.5 °C

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of work done is shown below as:

w=P\times \Delta V

Where, P is the pressure

\Delta V is the change in volume

Also,

Considering the ideal gas equation as:-

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J/ K mol

So,

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Also, for change in volume at constant pressure, the above equation can be written as;-

\Delta V=\frac{nR\times \Delta T}{P}

So, putting in the expression of the work done, we get that:-

w=P\times \frac{nR\times \Delta T}{P}=nR\times \Delta T

Given, initial temperature = 28.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (28.0 + 273.15) K = 301.15 K

W=1770 J

n = 6 moles

So,

1770\ J=6 moles\times 8.314\ J/ Kmol \times (T_2-301.15\ K)

Thus,

T_2=301.15\ K+\frac{1770}{6\times 8.314}\ K

T_2=336.63\ K

The temperature in Celsius = 336.63-273.15 °C = 63.5 °C

<u>The final temperature is:- 63.5 °C</u>

Describe how charge is transferred from the ruler to the metal rod.
spin [16.1K]
When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.

A skateboarder rolls off a 2.5 m high bridge into the river. If the skateboarder was originally moving at 7.0 m/s, how much time
saul85 [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.714 s and  x = 5.0 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise, in this case when the skater leaves the bridge he goes with horizontal speed

         vₓ = 7.0 m / s

Let's find the time it takes to get to the river

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical speed is zero and when it reaches the river its height is zero

        0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

        t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_o}{g}  }

        t = ra 2 2.5 / 9.8

        t = 0.714 s

the distance traveled is

       x = vₓ t

       x = 7.0 0.714

       x = 5.0 m

What is friction and explain
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.
