A space probe is sent to an alien planet and conducts an experiment in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity on the

planet. It produces the following table
Object Rock Grain of sand Metal bolt
Mass 20 grams 0.8 grams 79 grams
Recorded force of gravity :0.1224 N 0.00501 N 0.4871 N
Given this data, which of the following the closest approximation of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet

a
3.8 m/s^2
b
4.0 m/s^2
c
9.9 m/s^2

What will happen to the force between 2 charged objects if the mass of one of the charges is doubled and the distance between th
bekas [8.4K]

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value

The ball X has a known position at 3 different times, each 1 second apart. The positions of the ball are (1.8,2.2)m, (4.4,4.8)m,
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the position coordinates given , it appears that the ball moves simultaneously along x and y direction.

Displacement along x direction in one second = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 m

So velocity along x direction V_x = \frac{2.6}{s}

Similarly velocity along y direction V_y(1) =  \frac{2.6}{s}

In the next phase velocity changes both in x and y direction.

velocity in x - direction V_x(2) = [tex]\frac{2}{s}[/tex

Velocity in Y- direction V_y(2) = [tex]\frac{3.1}{s}[/tex

Acceleration in x direction = change of velocity in x direction

= ( 2 - 2.6 ) = -.6 m s⁻²

Acceleration in y direction = ( 3.1 - 2.6 ) = 0.5 m s⁻²

Total acceleration =\sqrt{( -.6 )² + ( .5 )²}

= .78 ms⁻²

The closeness of measured values to an accepted value is the BLANK of the data ?
wlad13 [49]
When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science. 

Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy U(r) of the object-earth system as a function of the object's distan
Drupady [299]

Answer:

U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Emr^2}{2R^3_E}

Explanation:

We are given that

Gravitational force=F_g=\frac{Gm_Emr}{R^3_E}

r=0,U(0)=0

We know that

Gravitational potential energy=-\int F_gdr

U(r)=-\int\frac{Gm_Emr}{R^3_E}dr

U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Em}{R^3_E}\times \frac{r^2}{2}+C

Substitute r=0 ,U(0)=0

0=0+C

C=0

Substitute the value

U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Emr^2}{2R^3_E}
