The gravitational constant G was first measured accurately by Henry Cavendish in 1798. He used an exquisitely sensitive balance

to measure the force between two lead spheres whose centers were 0.27 m apart. One of the spheres had a mass of 188 kg, while the mass of the other sphere was 0.93 kg.
What was the ratio of the gravitational force between these spheres to the weight of the lighter sphere?

The gravitational force between the spheres is

F_{\rm g}=\dfrac{G(188\,\mathrm{kg})(0.93\,\mathrm{kg})}{(0.27\,\mathrm m)^2}\approx1.6\times10^{-7}\,\mathrm N

where <em>G</em> = 6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The weight of the lighter sphere is

F_{\rm w}=(0.93\,\mathrm{kg})g\approx9.1\,\mathrm N

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The ratio between the two forces is then

\dfrac{F_{\rm g}}{F_{\rm w}}\approx1.8\times10^{-8}

A baseball fan is 150.0 m from the home plate. how much time elapses between the instant the fan sees the batter hit the ball an
Artyom0805 [142]

Approximately 0.4373 seconds

Speed of sound at 20 degree C is roughly 343 meters/second

Speed of light = 3x10^8 or 300,000,000 meters/second

at 150.0 feet away you set it up as:

150.0/343 - 150/3x10^8

150.0/343 = 0.43731778

150/3x10^8 = 5x10^-7 or 0.0000005

Subtract 0.43731778 - 0.0000005

Answer is 0.43731728

Rounding would be approx. 0.4373
