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

strength of the planet?

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 <em>(1/18)</em> as much as on Earth.

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

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

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 93 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

u = 25 m/s

Explanation:

given,                                

length of skid = 93 m          

coefficient of friction = 0.35

final velocity = 0 m/s              

initial velocity = ?                        

force here is friction  f = μ mg

F = ma                                                

now com paring                      

-μ mg = m a                      

a = - μ g                    

a = - 0.35 x 9.8              

a = -3.43 m/s²

we know,              

v² = u² + 2 a s                        

0 = u² - 2 x 3.43 x 93                

u² = 637.98                    

u = 25.26 m/s                      

u = 25 m/s (two significant figure)

Locate the complete verbal phrase and identify its type.
Ksju [112]
<span>won
adjective

Verb phrases are verbs that may function as a predicate, adjective, or adverb. </span>

(a) "That he said" is an adjective modifying "word". However, this contains the s ubject"he" and the verb "said". It is a clause and NOT a phrase. Phrases can only have either a verb or a noun.
<span>(b) There's only one verb "was" but it does not come with a complement, object, modifier, or other verb. Hence, it's NOT a verb phrase. </span>
<span>(c) "Shall be" consists of the modal shall and the be-verb be. This is a perfect example of a verb phrase that functions as a VERB PHRASE. </span>
<span>(d) "Roared" and "charged" are two verbs referring to different subjects. They do not come with a complement, object, modifier, or another verb. Hence, they're NOT a verb phrase. "As the bull charged" is a clause and not a phrase.</span>

All fires require oxygen () There is no oxygen in that room (T) .
Marina CMI [18]

The sentences are invalid and unsound.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The fire is defined as the vigorous oxidation of a substance. Now oxidation can occur in presence of any oxidising agent. Like magnesium in presence of nitrogen in high temperature with a dazzling brownish flame to produce magnesium nitride. So fire can be produced in absence of oxygen.

Oxygen is present everywhere in world. So production of a whole room without oxygen is very tough to produce and costly process. So its very unsound.

The graph illustrates the activity level of three common digestive enzymes, across a range of pH values. Which enzyme is likely
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) Pepsin

Explanation:

From the graph it is clear that pepsin is the only enzyme which works in highly acidic condintion in the digestive system.

  • less than 7 the liquid is acidic
  • above 7 the liquid is basic
  • at 7 the liquid is neutral

It has an optimum pH of about 1.5 at which its activity level is 8.5 as shown in graph.
