According to Newton's 3rd law the moon also attracts the earth with equal force which prevents it from falling towards the earth, while the gravitational pull of earth results in The revolution of the moon around the earth the force of the moon is not noticed on earth as the mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon.

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?
GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

  • One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
  • Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
  • Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
  • Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

A black, totally absorbing piece of cardboard of area a = 2.1 cm2 intercepts light with an intensity of 8.8 w/m2 from a camera s
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The value of radiation pressure is 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity I = 8.8 \frac{W}{m^{2} }

Area of piece A = 2.1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,

   P = \frac{I}{c}

Where P = radiation pressure, c = speed of light

We know value of speed of light,

 c = 3 \times 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

Put all values in above equation,

  P = \frac{8.8}{3 \times 10^{8} }

  P = 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa

Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is 2.933 \times 10^{-8} Pa
