You have discovered a planet that is one-quarter the radius of Earth (Rp = 1/4R⊕) and one-half as massive (Mp = 1/2M⊕). How does

the gravity on the surface of this planet compare to the gravity on the surface of Earth (Fgp = XFg⊕)?

Two cars having different weights are traveling on a level surface at different constant velocities. Within the same time interv
GuDViN [60]

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time. 

This is sneaky.  At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'.  But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed).  Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it.  If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s

Answer:

d. the same within the uncertainty of each measurement method

Explanation:

The density of an object and in general any physical property, has the same value regardless of the method used to measure it, either directly or indirectly. Since two completely different valid methods are used, the results must be the same, taking into account the level of precision of each of the methods.
