What characteristic of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it?

Physics

Korvikt [17]3 years ago

The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.

The gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.

Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:

a = GM/r²

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
hjlf

Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward randy when randy shines a light toward you. at what speed do you see the light approachin
yarga [219]
I see the light moving exactly at speed equal to c.

In fact, the second postulate of special relativity states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c<span> in all inertial frames of reference."
</span>
The problem says that I am moving at speed 2/3 c, so my motion is a uniform motion (constant speed). This means I am in an inertial frame of reference, so the speed of light in this frame must be equal to c.
