Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

the ocean floor is, on average, 4267 m below sea level. What is the pressure in the atmosphere at this depth?
hichkok12 [17]
The pressure at the depth h in the ocean is given by (Stevin's law)
p= p_0 + \rho g h
where
p_0 = 1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure
and \rho g h is the pressure exerted by the column of water of height h=4267 m, with \rho = 1000 kg/m^3 being the water density and g=9.81 m/s^2.
Substituting, we find
p=1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.81 m/s^2)(4267 m)=4.20 \cdot 10^7 Pa
We want to convert this into atmospheres: we know that 1 atm corresponds to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, so 1 atm=1.0\cdot 10^5 Pa, therefore we just need to divide by this number:
p= \frac{4.20 \cdot 10^7 Pa}{1.0 \cdot 10^5 Pa/atm} =420 atm

A 650-kg roller coaster starts from rest at the top of a 80 m hill.
Flura [38]

Answer:

or a roller coaster loop, if it were perfectly circular, we would have a minimum speed of vmin=√gR at the top of the loop where g=9.8m/s2 and R is the radius of the 'circle'. However, most roller coaster loops are actually not circular but more elliptical.
