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.

Describe two energy conversions that take place when you warm a cup of cocoa in a microwave oven.
vampirchik [111]
1.)the microwaves are absorbed by the water molecules in the cocoa. this causes the water molecules to vibrate very fast.

2.)this fast vibration causes the molecules to heat themselves up by means of bumping into each other (friction).

A net charge of 5.0 coulombs passes a point on a
cupoosta [38]

Answer : The average value of current is 1.0\times 10^2\ A.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Net charge, q = 5 C

Time, t = 0.05 s

The electric current is defined as the rate of change of electric charge.

I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I=\dfrac{5\ C}{0.05\ s}

I = 100\ A

or

I=1.0\times 10^2\ A

The average current is 1.0\times 10^2\ A.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s
