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}

Problem 1: Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, and have wavelengths of 26.0 m. Do the waves interfere constructi
Anton [14]

1) Destructive interference

The condition for constructive interference to occur is:

\delta = m\lambda (1)

where

\delta =|d_1 -d_2| is the path difference, with

d_1 is the distance of the point from the first source

d_2 is the distance of the point from the second source

m is an integer number

\lambda is the wavelength

In this problem, we have

d_1 = 78.0 m\\d_2 = 143 m\\\lambda=26.0 m

So let's use eq.(1) to see if the resulting m is an integer

\delta =|78.0 m-143 m|=65 m\\m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{65 m}{26.0 m}=2.5

It is not an integer so constructive interference does not occur.

Let's now analyze the condition for destructive interference:

\delta = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda (2)

If we apply the same procedure to eq.(2), we find

m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{65.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=2

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

2) Constructive interference

In this case we have

d_1 = 91.0 m\\d_2 =221.0 m

So the path difference is

\delta =|91.0 m-221.0 m|=130.0 m

Using the condition for constructive interference:

m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{130.0 m}{26.0 m}=5

Which is an integer, so this is a point of constructive interference.

3) Destructive interference

In this case we have

d_1 = 44.0 m\\d_2 =135.0 m

So the path difference is

\delta =|44.0 m-135.0 m|=91.0 m

Using the condition for constructive interference:

m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}=3.5

This is not an integer, so this is not a point of constructive interference.

So let's use now the condition for destructive interference:

m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=3

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

What are the characteristics of a nebulae? (Select all that apply.)
erica [24]

Answer:

B. contain hydrogen

C. clouds of gas and dust

E. needed to create a star

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

Some of the examples of stars are; Vega, Sun (closest to planet Earth), Antares, Betelgeus, Canopus, etc.

Stars are typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He). The chronological order in which the formation of a star occur are;

1. Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form dense cores.

2. A protostar forms as mass increases.

3. Nuclear fusion begins under high pressure.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.

PLEASE HELP!!! 20 PIONTS!!!
timama [110]

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.
