Answer:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the involved formula is:

F=G*\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

By writing a dimensional analysis with the proper algebra handling, we obtain:

N[=]G*\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\ \\kg*\frac{m}{s^2}[=]G *\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\\\G[=]\frac{kg*m*m^2}{kg^2*s^2}\\ \\G[=]\frac{m^3}{kg*s^2}

Thus, answer is:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Note that the [=] is used to indicate the units of G.

Best regards

How does the change in the temperature of the universe provide evidence for universe expansion that supports the Big Bang Theory
xeze [42]

Question:

1) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.

2) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

3) The universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses.

4) The universe is warming which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos accumulates.​

Answer:

The correct option is;

3) The Universe is cooling which, according to the Big Bang Theory, is expected to happen as the cosmos disperses

Explanation:

With the temperature measurement carried out using the CSIRO radio telescope, Astronomers have been able to determine a temperature difference in the universe from 5.08 Kelvin 7.2 billion light years away to 2.73 Kelvin in the Universe today, which is in support of the Big Bang theory that as the Universe expanded from a state of extreme temperature that cools down as the Universe expands or the cosmos disperses.

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?​
murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

or

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

Use the concepts on which maxwell’s equations are based to explain why a compass needle is deflected when the compass is brought
miv72 [106K]

A conductor that is conducting current generates a magnetic field everywhere around it. This magnetic field exerts force on the compass's magnetic needle, causing the needle to deviate.

Definition of Maxwell's rule

A current-conducting conductor creates a magnetic field everywhere around it. The magnetic needle of the compass experiences force from this magnetic field, which causes the needle to veer.

Equation for deflection

We have so far established that the total flux of electric field out of a closed surface is just the total enclosed charge multiplied by 1/ε0, ∫→E⋅d→A=q/ε0. This is Maxwell's first equation. It represents completely covering the surface with a large number of tiny patches having areas d→A.
