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.

Is a mirrors surface transparent translucent or opaque how do you know.

Eva8 [605]

There are actually two different kinds of mirrors, and the answer is different
for each one.

-- Plain old everyday hand mirror, vanity mirror, bathroom mirror, makeup
mirror, etc.

Opaque, reflecting silver coating is on the back of the glass.
Light from your tongue or your teeth flows to the front surface of the glass,
through the glass, out of the back surface of the glass, bounces off of the silver
coating on the back, reverses its direction, enters the back surface of the glass,
comes back through the glass again, leaves the front of the glass, goes into your
eyes, and you can see your teeth or your tongue.

Both surfaces of the glass, as well as the glass in between the surfaces, are
transparent. The silver coating on the back is opaque. I know that, because
when I look at the back of a mirror, I can't see any light coming through it.
The coating on the back is also reflective ... a big part of the reason why
a mirror works.

-- Expensive mirrors used by astronomers and eye-doctors.
Known as "first surface" mirrors.

Opaque, reflecting silver coating is on the <em>front</em> of the glass.
Light from your tongue or your teeth flows toward the front surface of the glass,
but never actually gets there. It bounces off of the silver coating on the front of
the glass, reverses its direction, goes into your eyes, and you can see your teeth
or your tongue.

The glass is transparent, but that doesn't matter, because the light never reaches
the glass. It only goes as far as the opaque silver coating on the front, and is
reflected from there.

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g

Mariulka [41]

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η= $\frac{electric power}{water power}$

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit

Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

$y_0$ = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

$t = \frac{18.6}{34}$

$t = 0.547s$

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0$

$y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2$

$y = 1.46m$

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.
