) By observing that the centripetal acceleration of the Moon around the Earth is ac = 2.7 × 10-3 m/s2, what is the gravitatonal

constant G, in cubic meters per kilogram per square second? Assume the Earth has a mass of ME = 5.99 × 1024 kg, and the mean distance between the centers of the Earth and Moon is rm = 3.88 × 108 m.

Answer:

G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

         F = G m M/ r²

Where G is the gravitational constant, m and M are the masses of the bodies and r is the distance from their centers

Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

          a = a_{c}  

We replace

         G m M / r² = m  a_{c}  

         G =  a_{c}   r² / M

Let's replace and calculate

         G = 2.7 10⁻³ (3.88 10⁸)² / 5.99 10²⁴

         G = 6,786 10⁻¹¹ m³ / s² kg

Let's perform a dimensional analysis

[N m²/kg²] = [kg m/s²   m² / kg²] = [m³ / s² kg]

In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

                          = 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.

No, because in oxygen depraved rooms, if you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same height and time, they will fall at the same speed and have the same amount of impact.

infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on earth
Mashcka [7]

The wavelength of the infrared radiation is  λ = 3.174×10^{-5}m.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 9.45 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 9.45 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

λ=c/f

λ = 3×10^{8}/9.45×10^{12}

λ = 3.174 ×10^{-5} m

The term "infrared radiation" (IR) refers to a part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum with wavelengths between about 700 nanometers (nm) and one millimeter (mm). Longer than visible light waves but shorter than radio waves are infrared waves.

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light is known as infrared, also known as infrared light. Since it is undetectable to the human eye, The typical range of wavelengths considered to be infrared (IR) is from about 1 millimeter to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, or about 700 nanometers.
