Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
- gravitational field strength of moon at a distance R from its center,
- Distance of the satellite from the center of the moon,
<u>Now as we know that the value of gravity of any heavenly body is at height h is given as:</u>
∴The gravitational field strength will become one-fourth of what it is at the surface of the moon.
Answer:
4.9 cm
Explanation:
From Hook's Law,
F = ke......................... Equation 1
Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.
Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.
W = mg.
F = mg.................... Equation 2
Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
mg = ke
make e the subject of the equation
e = mg/k............... Equation 3.
Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m
e = (2×9.8)/400
e = 19.6/400
e = 0.049 m
e = 4.9 cm
<u>Answer</u>
27.7
<u>Explanation</u>
The ball was hit at an angle of 30°, with the horizontal at a speed of 10 m/s. We have to find the horizontal component of speed.
cosx = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 30 = adjacent / 10
adjacent = 10 cos30
= 8.66 m/s ⇒ This is the horizontal speed.
Now find the horizontal distance.
Distance = speed × time
= 8.66 × 3.2
= 27.71
Answer to the nearest tenth = 27.7
Answer:
To calculate the age of a piece of bone
Explanation:
Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.
Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.
A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.
