If the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet x is double the value of earth's, how does planet x's mass compare t

love history [14]

There is not enough information given to answer with. The force of gravity at the planet's surface depends on the planet's radius as well as its mass. The planet could have exactly the same mass as Earth has. But if it's radius is only 71% of Earth's radius, then gravity on its surface will be twice as strong as gravity on Earth.

A 180-ohm resistor has 0.10 A of current in it. what is the potential difference across the resistor

Firlakuza [10]

We know V=IR (Ohm's law).

We are given R=180Ω and I=0.1A, then V=(0.1AΩ)(180Ω). Therefore

V=18V

Give examples of the one element from the alkaline earth metal group and one from the noble gases group. Include each element at

zhuklara [117]

Alkali metals: left column of your periodic table (not hydrogen, but anything below it). They have one valence electron, which they are happy to share in a reaction.

Halogens: second column from the right of your periodic table. They are one electron short of a full shell, so they are reactive in the opposite way that alkalis are--they want electrons.

Atomic number (number of protons) is the big number on the periodic table square. Hydrogen's is 1.

Atomic mass is a little number down below. For example, Hydrogen's is 1.008.

Neutrons are a tricky subject, because different isotopes of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. You can't generally get this from the atomic mass, because the atomic mass is a weighted average of naturally occurring isotopes. Hydrogen can have 0,1, or 2 neutrons. To answer this, you'd have to choose a particular isotope from the table of isotopes (a completely different chart from the periodic table) which has a certain number of neutrons: n = weight - Z.

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. (The column of the table).

You are sitting on a merry-go-round of mass 200 kg and radius 2m that is at rest (not spinning). Your mass is 50 kg. Your friend

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a. $\tau=200J$ b. $\alpha=0.44 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ c. $\alpha=0.33\frac{rad}{s^2}$ d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger.

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the torque is given by $\tau=rF\sin \theta$ , being r the radius, F the force aplied and $\theta$ the angle between the vector force and the vector radius. Since $\theta=90^{\circ}, \, \sin\theta=1$ and so $\tau=rF=2m100N=200Nm=200J$ .

b. Since the relation $\tau=I\alpha$ hols, being I the moment of inertia, the angular acceleration can be calculated by $\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$ . Since we have already calculated the torque, all left is calculate the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia of a solid disk rotating about an axis that passes through its center is $I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2$ , being M the mass of the disk. If we assume that a person has a punctual mass, the moment of inertia of a person would be given by $I_p=m_pr_p^{2}$ , being $m_p$ the mass of the person and $r_p^{2}$ the distance from the person to the center. Given all of this, we have

$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{\tau}{I_{disk}+I_{person}}=\frac{Fr}{\frac{1}{2}Mr^2+m_pr_p^{2}}=\frac{200Nm}{\frac{1}{2}200kg*4m^2+50kg*1m^2}=\frac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{450Nm^2}\approx 0.44\frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

c. Similar equation to b, but changing $r_p=2m$ , so

$alpha=\dfrac{200\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}{\frac{1}{2}200*4kg\,m^2+50*4 kg\,m^2}=\dfrac{200}{600}\dfrac{1}{s^2}\approx 0.33 \frac{rad}{s^2}$ .

d. The angular acceleration when sitting in the middle is larger because the moment of inertia of the person is smaller, meaning that the person has less inertia to rotate.
