Answer:

2.72\cdot 10^{-3} m/s^2

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the angular velocity of the Moon. We know that the period is:

T=27.3 d \cdot 24 \cdot 60 \cdot 60 =2.36\cdot 10^6 s

So now we can calculate its angular velocity:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{(2.36\cdot 10^6)}=2.66 \cdot 10^{-6} rad/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by

a=\omega^2 r

where

\omega=2.66\cdot 10^{-6}rad/s

r=3.84\cdot 10^8 m is the radius of the orbit

Substituting,

a=(2.66\cdot 10^{-6})^2(3.84\cdot 10^8)=2.72\cdot 10^{-3} m/s^2

Gravity anything with mass as gravity we know the earth has gravity because you and I are standing on earth and not floating off
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

F=mg

Explanation:

Close to Earth's surface, the force of gravity that pulls an object towards the ground is

F=mg (2)

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 close to Earth's surface

This is an approximation of the general formula of gravity valid only close to Earth's surface. The more general formula is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the object's mass

r is the distance of the object from Earth's center

At the Earth's surface,

r = R (Earth's radius), and by calling the following factor

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

we see that eq.(1) becomes eq.(2).

Consider the space between a point charge and the surface of a neutral spherical conducting shell. If the charge sits at the cen
Furkat [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

If a thin, spherical, conducting shell carries a negative charge, We expect the excess electrons to mutually repel one another, and, thereby, become uniformly distributed over the surface of the shell. The electric field-lines produced outside such a charge distribution point towards the surface of the conductor, and end on the excess electrons. Moreover, the field-lines are normal to the surface of the conductor. This must be the case, otherwise the electric field would have a component parallel to the conducting surface. Since the excess electrons are free to move through the conductor, any parallel component of the field would cause a redistribution of the charges on the shell. This process will only cease when the parallel component has been reduced to zero over the whole surface of the shell

According to Gauss law

∅ = EA =-Q/∈₀

Where ∅  is the electric flux through the gaussian surface and E is the electric field strength

If the gaussian surface encloses no charge, since all of the charge lies on the shell, so it follows from Gauss' law, and symmetry, that the electric field inside the shell is zero. In fact, the electric field inside any closed hollow conductor is zero

iron β is a solid phase of iron still unknown to science. The only difference between it and ordinary iron is that Iron β forms
saw5 [17]

Answer:

8.60 g/cm³

Explanation:

In the lattice structure of iron, there are two atoms per unit cell. So:

\frac{2}{a^{3} }  = \frac{N_{A} }{V_{molar} } where V_{molar}  = \frac{A}{\rho } an and A is the atomic mass of iron.

Therefore:

\frac{2}{a^{3} } = \frac{N_{A} * p }{A}

This implies that:

A = (\frac{2A}{N_{A} * p)^{\frac{1}{3} }  }

  = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }r

Assuming that there is no phase change gives:

\rho = \frac{4A}{N_{A}(2\sqrt{2r})^{3}   }

  = 8.60 g/m³
