Answer:

M = 7.43×10^25 kg

Explanation:

let the mass of the planet be M and r be the radius of the planet and g be the gravitational acceleretion.

then:

the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g = G×M/(r^2)

M = g×r^2/G

   = [(41)×(1.1×10^7)^2]/(6.67408×10^-11)

   = 7.43×10^25 kg

therefore, the mass of the planet is 7.43×10^25 kg.

A piano tuner strikes a tuning fork at the same time he strikes a piano key with a note of a similar pitch. If he hears 3 beats
DaniilM [7]
The frequency produced by the string could be 437 Hz or it could be 443 Hz.

The frequency of the beats ... 3 Hz ... tells the piano tuner that
the difference between the fork and string frequencies is 3 Hz,
but it doesn't tell her which one is higher or lower.

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o
love history [14]

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm

A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?
Brut [27]

Answer:

The force exerted by the ball on the bat has a magnitude of 100 N and its direction is exactly opposite to that of the force exerted by the bat on the ball.

Explanation:

Recall that Newton's third law tells us that : "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Therefore if the bat acts on the ball with a force of 100 N, the ball acts on the bat with a similar magnitude of force (100 N) but direction opposite to the original force.
