Prove that g is inversely proportional to the radius

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:The acceleration due to gravity g is inversely proportional to the square of the radius in the formula g = GM / R^2 where G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2, M is the mass of the Earth and R is the radius of the Earth

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$212.8 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Time taken by stone to cover horizontal distance

$t=\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}$ where t is time, h is height of whirling the stone in horizontal circle, g is gravitational constant, Substituting h for 2.1 m and g for 9.81

$t=\sqrt{\frac {2*2.1}{9.81}}$ = 0.654654 seconds

t=0.65 s

Velocity, v= distance/time

v=10/0.65= 15.27525 m/s

v=15.3 m/s

$a=\frac {v^{2}}{r}$ where r is radius of circle, substituting r with 1.1m

$a=\frac {15.3^{2}}{1.1}$

$a=212.8 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, centripetal acceleration is $212.8 m/s^{2}$

What is the difference between virtual images produced by concave, plane and convex mirrors? What does the negative sign in the

vampirchik [111]

Hey.. the virtual image formed by a plane mirror would be the same size. If formed by a convex mirror it would be diminished and if formed by a concave mirror it would be magnified.
the negative sign in the value of magnification indicates the type of mirror, that the mirror being used is convex, and if it is positive then the mirror being used is concave mirror. The negative sign denotes that the image projected is in the inverted direction.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It does not impact snacking behavior.

Explanation:

The mean of the study was 18.7 grams, which is only 2.3 grams below the actual average grams of snacks that an adult would consume while at work, after revising this you could say that theres a significant reduction, but then the standard deviation is 9.1 this means that there are still adults that are eating more than 21 gram of snacks, so the test would result inconclusive.
