The gravity of Earth, denoted by g, is the net acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force. In SI units this acceleration is measured in metres per second squared or equivalently in newtons per kilogram.

Answer:

Abstract. The acceleration due to gravity, denoted by the symbol g, is the acceleration of a body caused by the force acting on the body due to the earth's gravitational field. This force can be written as mg, where m is the mass of the body.

Which of the following would be used in luminosity calculations?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1) joule

2) $kgm^{2}/s^{2}$

3) $10\%$

Explanation:

1) Luminosity is the amount of light emitted (measured in Joule) by an object in a unit of time (measured in seconds). Hence in SI units luminosity is expressed as joules per second ( $\frac{J}{s}$ ), which is equal to Watts ( $W$ ).

This amount of light emitted is also called radiated electromagnetic power, and when this is measured in relation with time, the result is also called radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object.

Therefore, if we want to calculate luminosity the Joule as a unit will be used.

2) Work $W$ is expressed as force $F$ multiplied by the distane $d$ :

$W=F.d$

Where force has units of $kgm/s^{2}$ and distance units of $m$ .

If we input the units we will have:

$W=(kgm/s^{2})(m)$

$W=kgm^{2}/s^{2}$ This is 1Joule ( $1 J$ ) in the SI system, which is also equal to $1 Nm$

3) The formula to calculate the percent error is:

$\% error=\frac{|V_{exp}-V_{acc}|}{V_{acc}} 100\%$

Where:

$V_{exp}=7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the experimental value

$V_{acc}=6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the accepted value

$\% error=\frac{|7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}-6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}|}{6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}} 100\%$

$\% error=10.04\% \approx 10\%$ This is the percent error

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 1.90 m/s² for 6.60 s then travels at that constant velocity for anot

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the object's average velocity is 9.74 m/s (9.80 m/s without any intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the displacement of the object divided by the time it takes the object to do that displacement.

The displacement is calculated as the distance between the final position of the object and the initial position. In this problem, the displacement is equal to the traveled distance because the object travels only in one direction:

a.v = Δx/t

Where:

a.v = average velocity.

Δx = displacement = final position - initial position

t = time

So, let's find the distance traveled while the object was accelerating. For that, we will use this equation:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

In this case, since the object is initially at rest, v0 = 0. If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object starts moving, then x0 = 0. So, the equation of the position of the object after a time t will be:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

x = 1/2 · 1.90 m/s² · (6.60 s)²

x = 41.4 m

The object traveled 41.4 m during the first 6.60 s.

Now, let's find the rest of the traveled distance.

When the velocity is constant, a = 0. Then, the equation of position will be:

x = x0 + v · t

Let's place now the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object starts traveling at constant velocity so that x0 = 0:

x = v · t

The velocity reached by the object during the acceleration phase is calculated as follows:

v = v0 + a · t (v0 = 0 because the object started from rest)

v = 1.90 m/s² · 6.60 s

v = 12.5 m/s

Then, the distance traveled by the object at a constant velocity will be:

x = 12.5 m/s · 8.50 s

x = 106 m

The total traveled distance in 15.1 s is (106 m + 41.4 m) 147 m.

Then the displacement will be:

Δx = final position - initial position

Δx = 147 m - 0 = 147 m

and the average velocity will be:

a.v = Δx/t

a.v = 147 m / 15.1 s

a.v = 9.74 m/s

The magnitude of the object's average velocity is 9.74 m/s (9.80 m/s without any intermediate rounding).
