Explanation:
(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.
In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.
0.4 miles = 0.64 km
displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km
(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time
t = 15 min = 0.25 hour
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg
Explanation:
The law of universal gravitation is
F = G m M/ r²
Where G is the gravitational constant, m and M are the masses of the bodies and r is the distance from their centers
Let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
The acceleration is centripetal
a =
We replace
G m M / r² = m
G = r² / M
Let's replace and calculate
G = 2.7 10⁻³ (3.88 10⁸)² / 5.99 10²⁴
G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg
Let's perform a dimensional analysis
[N m²/kg²] = [kg m/s² m² / kg²] = [m³ / s² kg]
