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 current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 0.0039\ A

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod d=2.54\ cm

length of rod is l=20\ cm

Resistivity of silicon is \rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m

cross-section of the rod A

\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of rod is  R

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega

Current is given by

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A

22. A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 12 m tall with a speed of 3.1 m/s.
zysi [14]

Answer:

a) t = 1.6 s

b) d = 4.9 m

c) v = 16 m/s

d) θ = 79°

Explanation:

time of fall

t = √(2h/g) = √(2(12)/9.8) = 1.5649... s

d = vt = 3.1(1.56) = 4.8512...

vertical velocity vy = at = 9.8(1.56) = 15.336... m/s

v = √(15.336² + 3.1²) = 15.6464... m/s

θ = arctan(15.336/3.1) = 78.5724...°

How many electrons are in an electrically neutral atom of boron? A) 3 B) 5 C) 6 D) 8
Hoochie [10]
B. five electrons

If you want an explanation, here it is.

The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom. Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.

How could you make a sound wave sound louder
kykrilka [37]
If you clap your hands, the shock causes the air around your hands to begin vibrating. When air particles vibrate, they bump into other particles near them. Then these particles begin to vibrate and bump into even more air particles. When the air particles begin vibrating the air inside your ear, you hear a sound.
