The mass of the planet Gallifrey is 8 times the mass of the Earth.

let the gravitational field of Earth = g
let the radius of the Earth = R
gravitational field of Gallifrey = 2g
radius of Gallifrey = 2R

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

This is the work done in moving an object to a certain distance against gravitational field.

The gravitational field strength of the Earth is given as follows;

$g = \frac{GM}{r^2} \\\\G = \frac{gr^2}{M}$

The gravitational field strength of the Planet Gallifrey is calculated as follows;

$g_2 = \frac{GM_2}{r_2^2}$

$G = \frac{g_2r_2^2}{M_2} \\\\\frac{g_2r_2^2}{M_2} = \frac{gr^2}{M}\\\\M_2gr^2 = Mg_2r_2^2\\\\M_2 = \frac{Mg_2r_2^2}{gr^2} \\\\M_2 = \frac{M \times 2g \times (2r)^2}{gr^2} \\\\M_2 = \frac{M \times 2g \times 4r^2}{gr^2} \\\\M_2 = 8M$

Thus, the mass of the planet Gallifrey is 8 times the mass of the Earth.

Answer:

0.000234 seconds

Explanation:

Since the row is 0.15m, its radius of rotation must be 0.15 / 2 = 0.075 m

We can start by calculating the angular speed of the rod:

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{2010}{0.075} = 26800 rad/s$

Since one revolution equals to 2π rad. The speed in revolution per second must be

26800 / 2π = 4265 revolution/s

The number of seconds per revolution, or period, is the inverse:

1/4265 = 0.000234 seconds

A steel beam that is 5.50 m long weighs 332 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending

ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m

Weight of the beam, ( $W_{b}$ ) = 332 N

Weight of the Suki, ( $W_{s}$ ) = 505 N

After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.

$\sum M_{o} = 0$
