In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov Gerasimenko. Although the comet's core is actually far from spheric

al, in this problem we'll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 × 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet's surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravity according to the Newtonian definitions. From finding this value we will use the linear motion kinematic equations to find the time. Our values are

Comet mass M = 1.0*10^{13} kg

Radius r = 1.6km = 1600 m

Rock was dropped from a height 'h' from surface = 1m

The relation for acceleration due to gravity of a body of mass 'm' with radius 'r' is

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

Where G means gravitational universal constant and M the mass of the planet

g = \frac{(6.67408*10^{-11})(1*10^{13})}{1600^2}

g = 2.607*10^{-4} m/s^2

Now calculate the value of the time

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2(1)}{2.607*10^{-4}}}

t = 87.58s

The time taken for the rock to reach the surface is t = 87.58s

What formula can be used to calculate [H30+]?
elena-s [515]

[H3O+] is just the same with [H+]. There are quite a few relationships between [H+] and [OH−] ions. And because there is a large range of number between 10 to 10-15 M, the pH is used. pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH−]. In aqueous solutions, [H+ ][OH- ] = 10-14.

In a young's double-slit experiment, the angle that locates the second dark fringe on either side of the central bright fringe i
dem82 [27]

Answer:

(d/λ) = 17.67

Explanation:

Equation for double-slit:

d*sinθ = m*λ

Rearrange the equation

(d/λ) = m/(sinθ)

Since it is at the second dark fringe, m = 2

Therefore:

(d/λ) = 2/(sin(6.5)

(d/λ) = 17.67
