A planet with a mass one-half that of Earth has a radius that is 3 times that of Earth's radius. What is the gravitational field

stiv31 [10]

The gravitational acceleration of a planet is proportional to the planet's mass, and inversely proportional to square of the planet's radius.

So when you stand on the surface of this particular planet, you feel a force of gravity that is

(1/2) / (3²)

of the force that you feel on the surface of the Earth.

That's (1/18) as much as on Earth.

The acceleration of gravity there would be about 0.545 m/s².

This is about 12% less than the gravity on Pluto.

Describe the earth's rotation on it axis

Lisa [10]

Earth's rotation is the rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards east. As viewed from North Star or polestar Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.

Calculate the work done if a boy lifts a bag of cement 500N to the floor of a lorry 2.5m above the ground

eduard

Answer:

W = 1250 J = 1.25 KJ

Explanation:

The work done by the boy is due to the change in the position of the cement vertically. Hence, the work done in this case will be equal to the potential energy of the cement:

$W = P.E\\W = mgh$

where,

W = Work done = ?

mg = W = weight of cement = 500 N

h = height covered = 2.5 m

Therefore,

$W = (500\ N)(2.5\ m)$

W = 1250 J = 1.25 KJ

Singly charged gas ions are accelerated from rest through a voltage of 10.3 V. At what temperature (in K) will the average kinet

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Temperature of the gas molecules is 7.96 x 10⁴ K

Explanation:

Given :

Ions accelerated through voltage, V = 10.3 volts

The work done to change the position of singly charged gas ions is given by the relation :

W = q x V

Here q is charge of the ions and its value is 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C.

Average kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the relation:

K.E. = $\frac{3}{2}kT$

Here T is temperature and k is Boltzmann constant and its value is 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K.

According to the problem, the average kinetic energy of gas is equal to the work done to move the singly charged ions, i.e. ,

K.E. = W

$\frac{3}{2}kT = qV$

Rearrange the above equation in terms of T :

$T= \frac{2qV}{3k}$

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$T=\frac{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times10.3 }{3\times1.38\times10^{-23} }$

T = 7.96 x 10⁴ K

What is called gravitational potential energy?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Potential gravitational energy is the energy that the body has due to the Earth's gravitational attraction. In this way, the potential gravitational energy depends on the position of the body in relation to a reference level.
