Answer:

M_e = 6.04 * 10^24 kg

Explanation:

Given:

- The time period of moon orbit T = 27.32 days

- Distance from center of earth to moon r = 238,910 miles

- The gravitational constant G = 6.67408 * 10^-11

Find:

- Determine the mass of the earth

Solution:

- The mass of earth as a function of time period T and radius of orbit r is related by an expression as follows:

                   M_e = (2*pi / T)^2 * (r^3 / G)

                   M_e = (2*pi / 27.32*24*60*60)^2 * (238910*1609 / 6.67408 *10^-11)

                  M_e = 6.04 * 10^24 kg

12.) Active transport because the cell must use energy to move large particles across the membrane.

13.) Photosynthesis takes place in plant leaves containing the chlorophyll pigment. Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell. ... Cellular respiration uses glucose molecules and oxygen to produce ATP molecules and carbon dioxide as the by-product.

14.) In cells with a nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into two main stages: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase (including mitosis and cytokinesis). During interphase, the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis, and undergoes DNA replication preparing it for cell division.

A wave traveling in a string has a wavelength of 35 cm, an amplitude of 8. 4 cm, and a period of 1. 2 s. What is the speed of th
AlekseyPX

0.29 m/s (wave velocity = wavelength (lamda)/period (T) in metres)

35 / 1.2 = 29.16

29.16 ÷ 100 = 0.29

Wave velocity in string:

The properties of the medium affect the wave's velocity in a string. For instance, if a thin guitar string is vibrated while a thick rope is not, the guitar string's waves will move more quickly. As a result, the linear densities of the two strings affect the string's velocity. Linear density is defined as the mass per unit length.

Instead of the sinusoidal wave, a single symmetrical pulse is taken into consideration in order to comprehend how the linear mass density and tension will affect the wave's speed on the string.
