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.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.
