The gravitational constant G was first measured accurately by Henry Cavendish in 1798. He used an exquisitely sensitive balance

to measure the force between two lead spheres whose centers were 0.29 m apart. One of the spheres had a mass of 148 kg, while the mass of the other sphere was 0.63 kg.What was the ratio of the gravitational force between these spheres to the weight of the lighter sphere?

Answer:

1.198*10^{-8}

Explanation:

The law of gravitation has to be used in this question along with Newton's second law

Ratio = \frac{Gravitational force}{weight of the smaller sphere}= \frac{\frac{6.674*10^{-11*148*0.63} }{0.29^{2} } }{0.63 kg * 9.8} = 1.198*10^{-8}

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows  from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.

PLEASE HURRY, I'M BEING TIMED!
spayn [35]

Option D is correct. The speed at which the earth's surface moves because of the earth's rotation will then be equivalent to -10³ km/hr

Speed is a body is defined as the ratio of the distance with respect to the time taken by the body. Mathematically:

Speed = Distance/Time

GIven the following

Distance = 104km/hr

If it is 6:00 p.m. in New York, it is 7:00 a.m. of the next day of the week in Tokyo, this means that the time difference between New York and Tokyo is 11 hours.

Time = -11 hours

Get the required speed

Speed = 104/-11

Speed = -9.454545

Speed = -10km/hr

The speed at which the earth's surface moves because of the earth's rotation will then be equivalent to -10³ km/hr

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

An experiment is conducted using 2 plants to determine if the amount of sunlight they receive affects how fast they grow. Which
Phantasy [73]

Greetings!

The correct answer choice is Choice 4.

<em>Why?</em>

In a scientific experiment the only thing being changed is the independent variable. Everything else should stay the same.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight each plant should receive. <em>Here's a tip</em>- when looking for and independent variable look for whats being changed on purpose.

Hope this helps!
