Answer:

option ( a ) is correct .

Explanation:

Escape velocity on the earth = √ ( 2 GM / R )

where G is universal gravitational constant , M is mass of the earth and R is radius .

V₀ = √ ( 2 GM / R )

escape velocity on the planet where mass is equal is earth's mass and radius is 4 times that of the earth

Radius of the planet = 4 R

escape velocity of planet = √ ( 2 GM / 4R )

= .5 x √ ( 2 GM / R )

= .5 V₀

option ( a ) is correct .

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the power sourceA) increases.B) decreases.C) stays the same.
Nikolay [14]

As more and more lamps are connected in parallel (and if the current does not produce heating inside the battery) their brightness stays the same. Each lamp has the same voltage across it. Each lamp added in parallel decreases the total resistance in the circuit, so additional current flows.

A lady bug is sitting on the bottom of a can while you twirl it overhead on a string that is 65.0
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The linear speed of the ladybug is 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the angular speed of the lady bug. This is given by:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where

T is the period of revolution

The period of revolution is the time taken by the ladybug to complete one revolution: in this case, since it does 1 revolution every second, the period is 1 second:

T = 1 s

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{1 s}=6.28 rad/s

Now we can find the linear speed of the ladybug, which is given by

v=\omega r

where:

\omega=6.28 rad/s is the angular speed

r = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m is the distance of the ladybug from the axis of rotation

Substituting, we find

v=(6.28)(0.65)=4.1 m/s

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the block in water?
12345 [234]

                                       Density = (mass) / (volume)

                                4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by  0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

                                 mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                           = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                           = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                           =   3,528 newtons . 

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it.  It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity.  That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water.  Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water.  The weight
of that water is  (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

       (3,528  -  882) = 2,646 newtons  (about 595.2 pounds) .

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water".  The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.
