Answer: D) The mass of planet B is four times the mass of planet A.

Explanation:

If the surface gravity is the same, this means that the attractive force exerted by both planets upon any body  on  the surface ,is the same.

This means that FgA and FgB are equal each other, so, applying the Universal Law of Gravitation to both planets, we can write:

FgA = G mMa / ra² = FgB = GmMb/rb²

Equating both sides, and simplyfing common terms, we have:

Ma/ra² = Mb/(2ra)²

Solving for Mb:

Mb = Ma . (4ra)² / ra² = 4 Ma

Your electric drill rotates initially at 5.35 rad/s. You slide the speed control and cause the drill to undergo constant angular
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The  angular displacement  is  \theta  =  29.6 \ rad

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The initial angular speed is  w =  5.35 \ rad/s

      The angular acceleration is  \alpha  =  0.331 rad /s^2

      The time take is  t =  4.81 \ s

     

Generally the angular displacement is mathematically represented as

          \theta  =  w * t  + \frac{1}{2} \alpha  * t^2

substituting values

         \theta  =  5.35 * 4.81  + \frac{1}{2}  *  0.331  * (4.81)^2

         \theta  =  29.6 \ rad

Why does a car slide when it rolls over an icy patch on a road?
Rainbow [258]
Hello. The answer, though I don't know what options you need to be answered, is that there is less friction between the car tires and the ice, than when they are on the road. Causing the car to slide.

Jessie draws a ray diagram to show how an image of a candle is produced by a concave mirror when the candle is placed in front o
irina1246 [14]
There are two rules of reflection for the concave mirror:
1)<span>Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis on the way to the mirror will pass through the focal point upon reflection.
2)</span><span>Any incident ray passing through the focal point on the way to the mirror will travel parallel to the principal axis upon reflection.
Also, keep in that for concave mirror center of curvature is 2f.
Using these two rules we can construct the image. 
You should always use these two "special" rays, I will mark then 1 and 2 on the picture.
From the picture, we can see that if you place the object between the focus and vertex you get the virtual image.
The answer is: object should be between the focal point and the vertex</span>

A car that is standing still accelerates up a hill with a slope of 6.4% at an average acceleration of 2.93 ft/s^2. The hill is 1
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

213 s

Explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.

Slope = vertical height / horizontal height

Therefore:

6.4% = vertical height / 12.42

vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42

vertical height = 0.8 miles

The distance travelled by the car (s) is:

s² = 0.8² + 12.42²

s² = 154.9

s = 12.45 miles

Acceleration (a) =  2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²

initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph

Using:

s = ut + 0.5at²

12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²

t =213 s
