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 .

What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car traveling at 75mph?What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car t
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 2812500 joules

Explanation:

Mass of car = 1500kg

Velocity of car = 75mph

Kinetic energy = ?

Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 0.5 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 500 x 5625

= 2812500 joules

Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 2812500 joules

Electrons are important to electric current because they are able to
Agata [3.3K]
Electrons are important to the electric current because they are able to move from one atom to another. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

How much mass energy could be obtained from the complete conversion of a 235 g hamburger?
Radda [10]
E = mc²
E = 0.235 kg · (3×10⁸ m/s)² = 0.235 · 9×10¹⁶  kg·m/s²
E = 2.115×10¹⁶ J
The answer is d) 2.12×10¹⁶ J
