How was the gravitational constant G first determined

1 answer:

6 0

<span>In equation form, this is often expressed as follows: The constant of proportionality in this equation is G - the universal gravitation constant. The value of G was not experimentally determined until nearly a century later (1798) by Lord Henry Cavendish using a torsion balance.</span>

jasenka [17]

Answer:

$\lambda= 506.25 nm$

Explanation:

Diffraction is observed when a wave is distorted by an obstacle whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength. The simplest case corresponds to the Fraunhofer diffraction, in which the obstacle is a long, narrow slit, so we can ignore the effects of extremes.

This is a simple case, in which we can use the Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

$y=\frac{m \lambda D}{a}$

Where:

$y=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} centerline \hspace{3}for \hspace{3}minimum\hspace{3} intensity =1.35mm\\\lambda=Light\hspace{3} wavelength \\D=Distance\hspace{3}between\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}screen\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=2m\\a=width\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=0.750mm\\m=Order\hspace{3}number=1$

Solving for λ:

$\lambda=\frac{y*a}{mD}$

Replacing the data provided by the problem:

$\lambda=\frac{(1.35\times 10^{-3})*(0.750\times 10^{-3})}{1*2} =5.0625\times 10^{-7}m =506.25nm$

At t= 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of Vi= (3.00i -2.00j) m/s and is at the ori

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(a) a = (2i + 4.5j) m/s^2

(b) r = ro + vot + (1/2)at^2

Explanation:

(a) The acceleration of the particle is given by:

$\vec{a}=\frac{\vec{v}-\vec{v_o}}{t}\\\\$

vo: initial velocity = (3.00i -2.00j) m/s

v: final velocity = (9.00i + 7.00j) m/s

t = 3s

by replacing the values of the vectors and time you obtain:

$\vec{a}=\frac{1}{3s}[(9.00-3.00)\hat{i}+(7.00-(-2.00))\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{a}=(2\hat{i}+4.5\hat{j})m/s^2$

(b) The position vector is given by:

$\vec{r}=\vec{r_o}+\vec{v_o}t+\frac{1}{2}\vec{a}t^2$

where vo = (3.00i -2.00j) m/s and a = (2.00i + 4.50j)m/s^2
