On the surface of the earth, weight is calculated by multiplying mass and gravity.

 

<span>Because we know the radius of the Earth, we can use the Law of Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the Earth in terms of the gravitational force on an object (its weight) at the Earth's surface, using the radius of the Earth as the distance. We also need the Constant of Proportionality in the Law of Universal Gravitation, G. This value was experimentally determined by Henry Cavendish in the 18th century to be the extemely small force of 6.67 x 10</span>-11 Newtons between two objects weighing one kilogram each and separated by one meter. Cavendish determined this constant by accurately measuring the horizontal force between metal spheres in an experiment sometimes referred to as "weighing the earth."

 

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Answer:

(from top to bottom)

350 N, 80 kg, 10 m/s^2, 80 kg, -15 m/s^2, -3000 N

Explanation:

Force = Mass*Acceleration (aka F = ma)

Using algebra, you can find the variables/unknown values.

Which of the following events may occur when IR radiation is absorbed?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

c. More intense IR absorption occur for those bonds having greater dipole moment changes with bond lengthening in a vibration.

Explanation:

When the molecules is exposed to the infrared radiation, the sample molecules absorb the radiation of wavelengths (specific to molecule) which causes change in the dipole moment of the sample molecules. The vibrational energy levels of the sample molecules consequently transfer from the ground state to the excited state.  

Frequency of absorption peak is determined by vibrational energy gap.

Intensity of absorption peaks is related to change of dipole moment and possibility of transition of the energy levels.  

Thus, by analyzing infrared spectrum,abundant structure information of the molecule can be known.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is

c. More intense IR absorption occur for those bonds having greater dipole moment changes with bond lengthening in a vibration.

A pendulum consists of a massless stiff rod of length L hanging from a nearly frictionless axle, with a mass m at the end of the
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

mgL(1 - cosθ)

Explanation:

At angle θ, the vertical distance from the mass m to the pivotal axle is Lcosθ. While at U=0, this distance is L. Due to the mass is hanging straight down. Therefore the vertical distance from this lowest point to point at angle θ is

L - Lcosθ

The change in potential energy would be this height difference times mg

U_{\theta} = mg\Delta h = mg(L - Lcos\theta) = mgL(1 - cos\theta)

where g is the gravitational constant
