Answer:

3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:

g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}., where g_P is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, G is gravitational constant 6.67\cdot 10^{-11}, m is the mass of the planet, and r is the radius of the planet.

Since acceleration due to gravity is given as m/s^2, our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert 2400 kilometers to meters:

2400\:\mathrm{km}=2,400,000\:\mathrm{m}.

Now plugging in our values, we get:

3.6=6.67\cdot10^{-11}\frac{m}{(2,400,000)^2},

Solving for m:

m=\frac{2,400,000^2\cdot3.6}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}},\\m=\fbox{$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$}.

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 280.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647
