the complete question in the attached figure

we have that

d=0.51 mm------------------------- >0.00051 m

v = √(2ad) = √(2 * 1300m/s² * 0.00051 m) = 1.15 m/s initial velocity

a=9.8 m/s²

Then d = v² / 2a = (1.15m/s)² / (2*9.8) m/s² = 0.059 m = 59 mm

the answer is 59 mm

The Moon and Earth rotate about their common center of mass, which is located about RcM 4700 km from the center of Earth. (This

erica [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

d = Distance

M = Mass

$R_{CM} =$ Radius earth center of mass

PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$

$g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(7.35*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8-4700*10^3)^2}$

$g = 3.4*10^{-5}m/s^2$

PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 r$

Replacing

$a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 r$

$a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{26.3d(\frac{86400s}{1days})})^2 (4700*10^3m)$

$a_c = 3.34*10^{-5}m/s^2$

In an experiment refractive index of glass was observed to be 1.45,1.56,1.54,1.44,1.54and1.53. Calculate mean value of refractiv

Sever21 [200]

The mean may be calculated by summing the values of the refractive index and dividing the sum by the number of experiments. This is:
Mean = (1.45 + 1.56 + 1.54 + 1.44 + 1.54 + 1.53)/6
Mean = 1.51

The mean absolute error is the sum of the absolute values of errors divided by the number of trials:
MAE = (|1.45-1.51|+|1.56-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.44-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.53-1.51|)/6
MAE = 0.043

The fractional error is the MAE divided by the actual value:
Fractional error = 0.043 / 1.51
Fractional error = 43/1510

The percentage error is the fractional error multiplied by 100:
Percentage error = 2.85%

Does the tension of a string affect the speed of a wave

Nata [24]

Yes , increased tension suggests increased molecular attraction between the molecules of the ropes which affect the increase in the speed of wave.
