Review. As an astronaut, you observe a small planet to be spherical. After landing on the planet, you set off, walking always st

raight ahead, and find yourself returning to your spacecraft from the opposite side after completing a lap of 25.0 km. You hold a hammer and a falcon feather at a height of 1.40 m, release them, and observe that they fall together to the surface in 29.2 s. Determine the mass of the planet

To find the mass of the planet we will apply the relationship of the given circumference of the planet with the given data and thus find the radius of the planet. From the kinematic equations of motion we will find the gravitational acceleration of the planet, and under the description of this value by Newton's laws the mass of the planet, that is,

The circumference of the planet is,

\phi = 25.1m

Under the mathematical value the radius would be

\phi = 2\pi r

r = \frac{25}{2\pi}

r = 3.9788km

Using second equation of motion

x = \frac{1}{2} at^2

Replacing the values given,

1.4 = \frac{1}{2} a (29.2)^2

Rearranging and solving for 'a' we have,

a = 0.003283m/s^2

Using the value of acceleration due to gravity from Newton's law we have that

a = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Here,

r = Radius of the planet

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the Planet

\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})*M}{(3.9788*10^3)^2} = 0.003283

M = 7.79201*10^{14}kg

Therefore the mass of this planet is 7.79201*10^{14}kg

The step by step experiment to determine the cubic expansivity of a liquid
Anit [1.1K]
In accordance with the definition of density as r = m/V, in order to determine the density of matter, the mass and the volume of the sample must be known. The determination of mass can be performed directly using a weighing instrument. The determination of volume generally cannot be performed directly. Exceptions to this rule include · cases where the accuracy is not required to be very high, and · measurements performed on geometric bodies, such as cubes, cuboids or cylinders, the volume of which can easily be determined from dimensions such as length, height and diameter. · The volume of a liquid can be measured in a graduated cylinder or in a pipette; the volume of solids can be determined by immersing the sample in a cylinder filled with water and then measuring the rise in the water level. Because of the difficulty of determining volume with precision, especially when the sample has a highly irregular shape, a "detour" is often taken when determining the density, by making use of the Archimedean Principle, which describes the relation between forces (or masses), volumes and densities of solid samples immersed in liquid: From everyday experience, everyone is familiar with the effect that an object or body appears to be lighter than in air – just like your own body in a swimming pool.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The dimensionality of B is <em>length</em> per cubic <em>time</em>.

Explanation:

Units for displacement and time are <em>length</em> [L] and <em>time</em> [T], respectively. Then, formula can be tested for dimensional analysis as follows:

[L] = B\cdot [T]^{3}

Now, let is clear B to determine its units:

B = \frac{[L]}{[T]^{3}}

The dimensionality of B is <em>length</em> per cubic <em>time</em>.
