On the Moon's surface, lunar astronauts placed a corner reflector, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distanc

e to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. The Earth's atmosphere slows down light. Assume the distance to the Moon is precisely 3.84 × 10 8 m 3.84×108 m , and Earth's atmosphere (which varies in density with altitude) is equivalent to a layer 25.0 km 25.0 km thick with a constant index of refraction n = 1.000293 n=1.000293 . What is the difference in travel time for light that travels only through space to the moon and back and light that travels through the atmosphere and space? difference in travel time:

A long. 1.0 kg rope hangs from a support that breaks, causing the rope to fall, if the pull exceeds 43 N. A student team has bui
raketka [301]

Answer:

6.8 m/s2

Explanation:

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. The total weight of both the rope and the mouse-robot is

W = Mg + mg = 1*9.8 + 2*9.8 = 29.4 N

For the rope to fails, the robot must act a force on the rope with an additional magnitude of 43 - 29.4 = 13.6 N. This force is generated by the robot itself when it's pulling itself up at an acceleration of

a = F/m = 13.6 / 2 = 6.8 m/s2

So the minimum magnitude of the acceleration would be 6.8 m/s2 for the rope to fail

near the surface of the earth, objects in free fall (but not terminal velocity) experience a. constant distance. b. constant acc
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>
