One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given dista

nce. A lander vehicle on a distant planet records the fact that it takes 3.17 s for a ball to fall freely 11.26 m, starting from rest.
a. What is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?
b. How fast is the ball moving just as it lands in m/s?

Answer:

a)a=2.24m/s^{2}

b)v(t)=7.1m/s

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equations:

v(t)=v_{o}+g*t=g*t   starting from rest

y(t)=v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}=1/2*a*t^{2

a=2*y/t^{2}=2*11.26/3.17^{2}=2.24m/s^{2}

We find now the speed

v(t)=a*t=2.24*3.17=7.1m/s

Even in the most advanced circuits, we cannot oscillate electrons back and forth at that rate through wires. But we can oscillat
den301095 [7]

Answer:

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the 10⁸ Hz = 100 MHz range

Explanation:

The speed of a wave of radio, television, light, heat, all are manifestations of electromagnetic waves that are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that support each other, the speed of all these waves is the same and the vacuum is equal to c = 3 108 m / s

All waves have a relationship between the speed of the wave, its frequency and wavelength

          c = λ f

          f = c /λ

for this case lam = 1 m

          f = 3 10⁸/1

          f = 3 10⁸ Hz

the oscillations of the electrons must be in the MHz range

It should be clarified that the speed of light in air is a little lower

          n = c / v

          v = c / n

the refractive index of vacuum is n = 1 and the refractive index of air is n = 1.000002
