Suppose mass and radius of the planet are half and twice that of earth's respectively. If acceleration due to gravity of the ear
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity of that planet is, gₐ = 1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the planet, m = 1/2M

Radius of the planet, r = 2R

Where M and R is the mass and radius of the Earth respectively.

The acceleration due to gravity of Earth, g = 10 m/s²

The acceleration due to gravity of Earth is given by the relation,

                                       g = GM/R²

Similarly, the acceleration due to gravity of that planet is

                                        gₐ = Gm/r²

where G is the Universal gravitational constant

On substituting the values in the above equation

                                        gₐ = G (1/2 M)/4 R²

                                             = GM/8R²

                                             = 1/8 ( 10 m/s²)

                                             = 1.25 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration due to gravity of that planet is, gₐ = 1.25 m/s²

To understand the meaning and possible applications of the work-energy theorem.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

   <u> a = V final 2___v initial2</u>

                      28

Explanation:

By definition for contant acceleration        <u>a =   V final ___v initial</u>

                                                                                      t

Furthermore the average speed is           <u>V abg =  v initial +v final</u>

                                                                                         2

Combine these relationships to eliminate t.               8 = Vabg t.
