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 .

Describe free fall and weightlessness ?<br>​
yaroslaw [1]

weightlessness is the complete or near complete absense of the sensation of weight.

when in freefall,the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity a noun contact force.since the gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces,you would have no sensation of it.you would feel weightless when in a state of freefall.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to ohm's law, the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current is that current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage over resistance.

Mathematically,           I = \frac{V}{R}

From this relationship we can see that when we decrease the voltage, and do not change the resistance, the current will also decrease. As current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
