Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

The \ weight, W  =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

W_1   =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times  \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.

When discussing Newton's laws of motion,which terms do people most likely yse when talking about Newton's third law of motion?​
mestny [16]

When discussing Newton's laws of motion, particularly Newton's third law of motion, the terms that almost everyone will use are "action"​ and "reaction".

You must not take this to mean that they understand what they're talking about.

A yellow and green car traveled 400 miles to Dayton, OH. The green car made the trip in 10 hours. The yellow arrived in 8 hours.
elixir [45]

Answer: C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.

Explanation:

The speed of each car is defined as:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance traveled by the car and t is the time taken.

For the yellow car, d=400 mi and t=8 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{8 h}=50 mph

For the green car, d=400 mi and t=10 h, so its speed is

v=\frac{400 mi}{10 h}=40 mph

So, the correct choice is

C)The yellow car was faster. Yellow traveled at a speed of 50 mph while green was traveling at an average of 40 mph.
