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
d
6.1 m/s^2

Andrews [41]

Answer:

37.545 m/s

Explanation:

f' = Actual frequency of horn = 269 Hz

f = Observed frequency of horn = 290 Hz

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v_0 = Speed of second train = 13.7 m/s

v_s = Speed of first train

From Doppler effect we have

f=f'\dfrac{v-v_0}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=v-\dfrac{f'}{f}(v-v_0)\\\Rightarrow v_s=343-\dfrac{269}{290}(343-13.7)\\\Rightarrow v_s=37.545\ m/s

The speed of the first train is 37.545 m/s

When a light ray passes from LESS dense water (n = 1.33) into a MORE dense diamond (n = 2.419) at an angle of 45 degrees, its pa

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light is incident at a transparent surface, the transmitted component of the light changes direction at the interface. Another component of the light is reflected at the surface. When a ray of light passes from water to diamond at an angle 45°, its path is bent towards the normal. This is so because water is less dense than the diamond. The refractive index of water (n = 1.33) is less than the refractive index of diamond (n = 2.419).
