Answer:

$3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field that occur in a plane perpendicular to the direction of travelling of the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, whose value is:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

And this value is called speed of light.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength/frequency. From highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

(c) The force of Jupiter on the baby is slightly greater than the the force of the father on the baby.

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:

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

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>(a) Gravitational force Father exertes on baby</h2>

Using equation (1) and taking into account the mass of the father $m_{1}=100kg$ , the mass of the baby $m_{2}=4.20kg$ and the distance between them $r=0.2m$ , the force $F_{F}$ exerted by the father is:

$F_{F}=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(100kg)(4.20kg)}{(0.2m)^2}$ (2)

$F_{F}=0.0000007N=7(10)^{-7}N$ (3)

<h2>(b) Gravitational force Jupiter exertes on baby</h2>

Using again equation (1) but this time taking into account the mass of Jupiter $m_{J}=1.898(10)^{27}kg$ , the mass of the baby $m_{2}=4.20kg$ and the distance between Jupiter and Earth (where the baby is) $r_{E}=6.29(10)^{11}m$ , the force $F_{J}$ exerted by the Jupiter is:

$F_{J}=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.898(10)^{27}kg)(4.20kg)}{(6.29(10)^{11}m)^2}$ (4)

$F_{J}=0.000001344N=1.344(10)^{-6}N$ (5)

<h2>(c) Comparison</h2>

Now, comparing both forces:

$F_{J}=0.000001344N=1.344(10)^{-6}N$ and $F_{F}=0.0000007N=7(10)^{-7}N$ we can see $F_{J}$ is greater than $F_{F}$ . However, the difference is quite small as well as the force exerted on the baby.
