Answer:

<h3>\boxed{dyne}</h3>

Explanation:

The weight of a body is defined as the force with which it is attracted towards the centre of a planet. A spring balance measures it. It's unit is Newton ( N ) in the SI system and dyne in the CGS system.

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Weight is force.

The CGS unit of force is the dyne.

The SI unit of force is the Newton.

lutik1710 [3]
It increases, because the centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius of the curvature.

How long does it take (in minutes) for light to reach venus from the sun, a distance of 1.152 × 108 km?
7nadin3 [17]
Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 \ \frac{m}{s}), and your given distance of 1.152 * 10^{8} km, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km}, is 1.152 * 10^{11} m. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using \frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by:W= m*g

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} })

Therefore,

m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}

m_{1} = 1478.08  kg

Similarly,

m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}

m_{2} = 489.29  kg

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

F =  \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }

G= gravitational constant (6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2})

m_{1} , m_{2}= masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz. Find the possible range of wavelengths in ai
taurus [48]

Answer:

The possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

To find,

The wavelength range for the corresponding frequency.

Solution,

The speed of sound is given by the following relation as :

v=f_1\lambda_1

Wavelength for f = 45 Hz is,

\lambda_1=\dfrac{v}{f_1}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343}{45}=7.62\ m

Wavelength for f = 375 Hz is,

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{f_2}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{343}{375}=0.914\ m/s

So, the possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.
