Feliz [49]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that  

F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_{1} ,m_{2}, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis
arlik [135]
The kinetic energy of the electron is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J, we can find the value of the speed v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} }  = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. Why is that not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings?
Marizza181 [45]

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that waves simply means the dynamic disturbance of a quantity.

It should be noted that in mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of
olga2289 [7]
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The density of one halves  11.3 g / cm cube

Explanation:

Density remain same because cutting the bar in half , mass and volume will decrease to half so density will not change .

density = \frac{mass}{volume}
