The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = $95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

r = Radius of Saturn = $9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m$

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²

car is moving at 40 m/s. At 10 meters the driver spots a deer on the road and instantly steps on the brakes. If the car is 400 k

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

32000 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance (s) = 10 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)

0 = 1600 + 20a

Collect like terms

0 – 1600 = 20a

–1600 = 20a

Divide both side by –1600

a = –1600 / 20

a = –80 m/s²

The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.

Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg

Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 400 × –80

F = – 32000 N

NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.

The ________ on the axis (c2) forms a pivot point with the atlas (c1) that allows you to nod a "no."

grandymaker [24]

The dens or the odontoid process of the axis or the second cervical spine forms a pivot point with the atlas or the first cervical vertebrae that is responsible for the nodding and the rotational movements of the head. This is reinforced by ligaments and the atlanto-occipital joint that allows the head to make a nodding or up and down movement on the vertebral column.

Only the sun and other stars in space generate these kinds of waves:

Reika [66]

Answer:

<h2>Ultraviolet Waves.</h2>

Explanation:

The Sun emits waves called "Solar Waves", which have a wavelengths between 160 and 400 nanometers. According to the electromagnetic spectrum, these waves are defined as Ultraviolet, which have a frequency around the order of $10^{16}$ , which is really intense and high energy.

Therefore, the answer is Ultraviolet Waves.

When exposed to a radioactive source which emits 1.2-MeV gamma-rays, a particular material is found to have a half-value thickne

iren2701 [21]

Answer:E

Explanation:

It is given that Energy of gamma ray is E=1.2 Mev

Shielding effect can be measured by measuring the fraction of gamma rays blocked by shield. If certain thickness will able to block half the radiation then to block 75% radiation we need to add same amount of thickness in order to block the remaining radiation.

i.e. $\frac{E}{2}$ fraction is blocked by 10 cm thickness

then remaining radiation is $\frac{E}{2}$

another 10 cm thickness will block the remaining half radiation i.e. $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{E}{2}=\frac{E}{4}$

so total 75 % radiation will be blocked
