Light pollution is influence of the light on earth (for example, street lighting) which interrupt observations. For example, if you are in a street during the night and street lights are turned on you won't see stars, but if lighting is turned off or if you go out of town you will see stars above.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

angle minimum   θ = 41.3º

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law in the condition of static equilibrium

    N - W = 0

    N = W

The rotational equilibrium condition, where we place the axis of rotation on the wall

We assume that counterclockwise rotations are positive

     fr (l sin θ) - N (l cos θ) + W (l/2 cos θ) = 0

     

the friction force formula is

     fr = μ N

     fr = μ W

we substitute

      μ m g l sin θ - m g l cos θ + mg l /2   cos θ = 0

      μ sin θ - cos θ + ½ cos θ= 0

         

       μ sin θ - ½ cos θ = 0

       sin θ / cos θ = 1/2 μ

       tan θ = 1/2 μ

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / 2μ)

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 (2 0.57))

      θ = 41.3º

Lucia kicks a ball on a level playing field with an initial velocity of 11.3 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Find:
grandymaker [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 11.3 m/s

Angle above the horizontal, \theta=35^{\circ}

Time of flight :

t=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 11.3\times \sin(35)}{9.8}\\\\t=1.32\ s

Horizontal distance traveled  is given by :

x = ut

x = 11.3 m/s × 1.32 s

x = 14.916 m

Maximum height is given by :

H=\dfrac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\\H=\dfrac{(11.3)^2\times \sin^2(35)}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=2.14\ m

Hence, time of flight is 1.32 s, horizontal distance is 14.916 m and maximum height is 2.14 m.

Cavendish used the attraction between large and small lead balls to measure an experimental value for the gravitational constant
irina1246 [14]

The gravitational constant was experimentally measured by W Cavendish using the attraction between big and small lead balls. is true

The correct answer is true

<h3>How do you define gravitational constant?</h3>

the strength of gravity. a factor in use in Newton's gravity law to relate the strength of the gravitational pull between two bodies with their masses and distance from one another. 6.67259 X 10-11 newtons per square kilogram is roughly the gravitational constant. G is its identifier.

<h3> where is the strongest gravity is?</h3>

The gravitational pull of the earth is greatest near sea level, normally, and weakens as you get further from the center, such as to the summit of Mt. Everest. Because the obloid earth was slightly wider, but only by a minor ratio, the gravity just at poles is stronger than that at the equator.
