If the mass of a planet is 0.231 mE and its radius is 0.528 rE, estimate the gravitational field g at the surface of the planet.

The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s 2 and the value of the universal gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N · m2 /kg2 . Answer in units of m/s 2 .

Answer:

8.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational field at the surface of a planet is given by

g=\frac{GM}{R^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

For the Earth:

g_E = \frac{GM_E}{R_E^2}=9.8 m/s^2

For the unknown planet,

M_X = 0.231 M_E\\R_X = 0.528 R_E

Substituting into the eq.(1), we find the gravitational acceleration of planet X relative to that of the Earth:

g_X = \frac{GM_X}{R_X^2}=\frac{G(0.231M_E)}{(0.528R_E)^2}=\frac{0.231}{0.528^2}(\frac{GM_E}{R_E^2})=0.829 g_E

And substituting g = 9.8 m/s^2,

g_X = 0.829(9.8)=8.1 m/s^2

How does uncertainty relate to measurements and calculations made during an investigation?
DerKrebs [107]
Uncertainty means that your result may be very random, so you can't trust the first or second or so observation, making several samples critical for accuracy. <span />

________ is an arrhythmia in which there is a very fast but regular rhythm (250 beats per minute) of the atria or ventricles.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Flutter

Explanation:

Flutter is a type of arrhythmia that causes very fast and regular ryth of the atria of about 250 beats per minute.

Arrhythmia can be defined as any sort of irregularity heart rate or rhythm is also called as dysrhythmia.

Arrhythmias can be categorized as heart block, bradycardia, tachycardia, fibrillation, flutter, sick sinus syndrome, and is diagnosed by Electrocardiography.

In Flutter, the heart chambers do get sufficient time to get filled with blood completely prior to next contraction.
