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 .

A 100 kg person rides in an elevator moving at a constant speed of
Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

All this information only applies to the person. There is an extra tension force if we are talking about the elevator, but we are not. Dont forget to apply the units

Acceleration means change in speed or velocity. The elevator is moving at a constant speed of 3 meters. You wont even know you are moving because there is no change in acceleration. It equals 0

The forces ONLY acting on the person would be the force of gravity pulling them down, and the normal force that the elevator is reciprocating from the person standing on it.

Force = mass x acceleration. You have 100 kg and you are accelerating at 0 m/s. The force is 0. Which makes sense because the force of gravity and the net force completely cancel each other out.

PLEASE HELP! I don't get it at all! Speed is one thing; distance is another. Where is the arrow you shoot up at 50m/s when it ru
LuckyWell [14K]
I got you b, V(final)^2=V(initial+2acceleration*displacement
So this turns to (0m/s)^2=(50m/s)^2+2(9.8)(d) so just flip it all around to isolate d so you get
-(50m/s)^2/2(9.8) = d so you get roughly 12.7555 meters up

A discharge lamp rated at 25 W (1 W = 1 J/s) emits yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. How many photons of yellow light does the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

the number of photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 s is 7 x 10^{19}

Explanation:

given information:

power, P = 25 W

wavelength. λ - 580 nm = 5.80 x 10^{-7} m

time, t = 1 s

to calculate the number of photon(N), we use the following equation

N = λPt/hc

where

λ = wavelength (m)

P = power (W)

t = time interval (s)

h = Planck's constant (6.23 x 10^{-34} Js)

c = light's velocity (3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

So,

N = λPt/hc

   = (5.80 x 10^{-7})(25)(1)/(6.23 x 10^{-34})(3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

    = 7 x 10^{19}

A typical oil control ring consists of _______ separate part(s).
azamat
<span>A. three</span><span>

Oil spill can be very harmful to marine life because  the chemical make up of oils can be poisonous to marine life. The oil can also affect the natural body temperature of marine animals especially to the small fish. Sea otters and sea birds are the most commonly affected by oil spills and those other marine animals that can be found in the shoreline. Heavy oils like the bunker oils used to fuel ships are the most harmful oil because when this oil stick to birds feathers, they may have an inability to warm themselves that could lead them to die.</span>
