Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from _____. the moon's gravitational attraction the sun plate movement the wind
IrinaVladis [17]
Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances. 

Have a nice day!

explain how a maglev train provides evidence that magnetic fields can apply forces between objects that do not touch.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Powerful electromagnets are fitted on top of guideways either ttract or repel the magents fitted on the bottom of train. The froce of attraction/repulsion rasies the train in hovering position.

Explanation:

Magentic fields exist between two opposite/like poles. The poles do not have to be touching each other. They can be separated by a distance in a medium that doesn' block magnetic field.

In magelv train the magnetic forces between two poles are used to operate the train. The two poles are separated by train body and air.

A 45-kg pole vaulter running at 10 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.1 m/s. Neglect air resistan
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The altitude or height of the pole vaulter as she crosses the bar is 4.04 m.

<h3>What is the height of the pole vaulter?</h3>

The height of the pole vaulter is determined from the change in kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy at that height.

  • Potential energy = Change in kinetic energy
  • mgh = m(v - u)²/2

h = (v - u)²/2g

h = (10 - 1.1)²/2 * 9.8

h = 4.04 m.

In conclusion, the height is determined from the potential energy at that height.

An interglacial is a period of time that occurs between Ice Ages. It’s marked by warmer temperatures and milder climates. During
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 43%.

Explanation: The increase in CO2 between these two suggested periods is approximately 43%. Even though it is a natural process that the CO2 levels vary in the atmosphere, still this is not the same case nowadays. Nowadays, or rather in the past few decades, apart from the natural increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, it has seen a much more increased levels because of the human activity. The industrial facilities and the vehicles, the cutting of the forests and burning the wood (there's both release of CO2 from the burning of the trees and loss of natural accumulator of the CO2), are just some of the more important human activities that contribute to a significant rise in the CO2 levels.
