An astronaut has landed on an asteroid and conducts an experiment to determine the acceleration of gravity on that asteroid. He

uses a simple pendulum that has a period of oscillation of 2.00 s on Earth and finds that on the asteroid the period is 11.3 s. What is the acceleration of gravity on that asteroid

Answer:

g' = 0.31 m/s²

Explanation:

First we need to find the length of pendulum, by using the formula of the time period of pendulum:

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = T²g/4π²

where,

L = Length of Pendulum = ?

T = Time Period of Pendulum on Earth = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

L = (2 s)²(9.8 m/s²)/4π²

L = 0.99 m

Now, we use the formula on asteroid:

T' = 2π√(L/g')

where,

T' = Time Period on Asteroid = 11.3 s

g' = acceleration due to gravity on asteroid = ?

Therefore,

11.3 s = 2π √(0.99 m/g')

(11.3 s)² = 4π²(0.99 m/g')

g' = 39.2 m/(11.3 s)²

<u>g' = 0.31 m/s²</u>

A gas cylinder contains argon atoms (m=40.0 u). The temperature is increased from 286 K (13°C) to 362 K (89°C) (a) What is the c
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

(a). The change in the average kinetic energy per atom is 1.57\times10^{-21}\ eV.

(b). The change in vertical position is 2413 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 40.0 u

The increased temperature from 286 K to 362 K.

(a). We need to calculate the change in the average kinetic energy per atom

Using formula of kinetic energy

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{3}{2}k\Delta t

Put the value into the formula

\Delta K.E=\dfrac{3}{2}\times1.38\times10^{-23}\times(362-286)

\Delta K.E=1.57\times10^{-21}\ eV

(b). The change in potential energy of the container due to change in the vertical position

We need to calculate the change in vertical position

Using formula of potential energy

\Delta U=mg\Delta h

\Delta h =\dfrac{\Delta U}{mg}

\Delta h=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-21}}{40.0\times1.66\times10^{-27}\times9.8}

\Delta h=2412.7=2413\ m

Hence, (a). The change in the average kinetic energy per atom is 1.57\times10^{-21}\ eV.

(b). The change in vertical position is 2413 m.

ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. You travel 20.0 mph f
timurjin [86]
The actual answer is 165 miles, but using significant figure rules the answer is 200. This is because the sig fig rules are as follows ...
<span>1. Non-zero digits are always significant.
2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
<span>3. A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.
</span></span>
So the zeroes in a number like 20 or 23,000 are NOT significant. When you add numbers you must find the addend with the lowest amount of significant figures and round the answer to that. In this case most of the addends only have one sig fig, so you round 165 to 200 to make it only have one sig fig.

Dimas [21]
Cooking utensils, such as pots, pans and menu trays, are often made from aluminium because it is lightweight and conducts heat well, making it energy-efficient for heating and cooling. These properties also make it a preferred material for packaging.
