Answer:

M_b = 2M_a

Explanation:

From gravity equation, we know that;

g = GM/R²

Where;

g is acceleration due to gravity

G is the gravitational constant

M is mass

Thus, making mass(M) the subject, we have;

M = gR²/G

Since we want to find the mass of B so that value of g on B is half that of its value on A.

Thus;

> g_b = ½g_a

> g_b/g_a = ½

Also, we are told that;

> R_a = ½R_b

> R_b/R_a = 2

If M_a = g_a•R_a²/G

And M_b = g_b•R_b²/G

Thus;

M_b/M_a = (g_b•R_b²/G)/(g_a•R_a²/G)

G will cancel out to give;

M_b/M_a = (g_b•R_b²)/(g_a•R_a²)

Rearranging for ease of simplification, we have;

M_b/M_a = (g_b/g_a) × (R_b/R_a)²

Plugging in the relevant ratios gives;

M_b/M_a = ½ × 2²

M_b/M_a = 2

M_b = 2M_a

If you put 3.27 moles of an ideal
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

1.65 atm

Explanation:

Applying,

PV = nRT....................... Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume, n = number of moles, R = malar gas constant, T = Temperature.

Make P the subject of the equation

P = nRT/V..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: n = 3.27 moles, V = 50.0 L, T = 35 °C = (273+35) = 308K

Constant: R = 0.082L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

P = 3.27(0.082)(308)/(50)

P = 1.65 atm

A wrecking ball has a mass of 315 kg. If it is moving at a speed of 5.12 m/s, what is its kinetic energy?
zubka84 [21]
The formula for Kinetic energy is:
KE (Kinetic Energy) = 1/2 M (mass) x V (velocity) ^2

Substitute the known values into the equation:
KE = 1/2 (315) x (5.12)^2

Find out the values in sections (split the formula in half)
1/2 x 315 = 157.5
5.12^2 = 26.2144

Now times the answers together to complete the formula.
157.5 x 26.2144 = 4,128.768 km^2/s

A pair of slits in a double slit experiment are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 480 nm. The slits are separat
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Using the appropriate approximations:

dx/L = mλ

d = slit separation

x = fringe spacing

L = distance between slits and screen

m = some integer, used to determine the distance from the central bright fringe to another bright fringe


We don't really need a value for m because we're calculating the distance between any pair of consecutive fringes. Let's just set m = 1


Given values:

d = 1.0mm

L = 2.0m

λ = 480nm


Substitute the terms in the equation with our given values and solve for x:

1.0*10⁻³*x/2 = 480*10⁻9

<h3>x = 0.96mm</h3>
