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.

hoa [83]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the equations of description of the simple harmonic movement in which the acceleration and angular velocity are expressed as a function of the Amplitude.

Our values are given as

f = 4.11 *10^{12} Hz

A = 1.23 * 10^{-11}m

The angular velocity of a body can be described as a function of frequency as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi 4.11 *10^{12}

\omega=2.582*10^{13} rad/s

PART A) The expression for the maximum angular velocity is given by the amplitude so that

V = A\omega

V =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})

V =  = 317.586m/s

PART B) The maximum acceleration on your part would be given by the expression

a = A \omega^2

a =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})^2

a= 8.2*10^{15}m/s^2

THE LARGEST HORIZONTAL PLATES IS SEPARATED BY 4mm .The plate is at the potencial of -6V . What potencial should be applied to th
Serhud [2]

Answer:

V₂ = -22 V

Explanation:

Electric potential and field are related

         ΔV = - E d

where ΔV is the potential difference between the plates, E the electric field and d the separation between the plates

 

In this exercise we are given the parcionero d = 4 mm = 0.004 m, the potential of one of the plates V1 = -6V and the value of the electric field E = 4000 V / m

          V₂- V₁ = - E d

          V₂ = - Ed + V₁

          V₂ = - 4000 0.004 + (- 6)

          V₂ = -16 - 6

          V₂ = -22 V

A red laser beam goes from crown glass with refraction index n=1.3 to air (n=1) with an incident angle of 0.23 radians. What is
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

   θ = 10.28º

Explanation:

To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction

        n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.

         sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ

let's calculate

         sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23

         sin = 0.175

        θ= 0.17528 rad

let's reduce to degrees

       θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)

       θ = 10.28º

a 700k/g race car slowed down from 30m/s to 15m/s what is the impulse and what was the average force applied by the brakes
posledela
So impulse is a change in momentum.

Mass*(final velocity - initial velocity)

I dont think you will be able to find the average force with the given info because you need to know the time it takes for the car to slow down.
