Answer:

4g

Explanation:

the equation of g (field gravity)

g = G M/R²

because G (Contant of Gravitasion) and M (Mass of earth) same, them

g2/g1 = R1²/R2²

g1 = g now

g2 = g which the value we looking for

g2/g = 1/(1/2)²

g2/g = 1/(1/4)

g2/g = 4

g2 = 4g

Answer:

4 times what it is now.

Explanation:

g=G(M/r^2)

G is constant, so ignore.

We have (1M/0.5r^2), or 4.

An opera singer who is a baritone, lowers his pitch and raises his voice for a song. Which best describes how the resulting soun
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The correct answer is a higher amplitude and lower frequency. Since an opera singer is lowering his pitch it means that he is creating higher amplitude and because he is raising his voice for a song with that higher amplitude he is creating lower frequency.

Most of an atom is empty space.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Iteru [2.4K]
 <span>Yes, the vast majority of an atom is indeed empty space. Most of it's mass is centered in the nucleus. Flying around the nucleus are the electrons, but they're very very far away (on an atomic level anyway). Most of the atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.</span>

There are two different alleles for the number of fingers on the hands: 5 finger allele and 6 finger allele. When both the 5 fin
padilas [110]

Answer:

The 6 fingers allele is dominant

Explanation:

We are told that the the individual is genotypically heterozygous, that is the have both types of the finger allele: the 5 finger allele and the 6 fingers allele however phenotypically, 6 fingers are observed. From this we can conclude that the 6 fingers allele is the one that is dominant because it is the one that is expressed phenotypically.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>
