Newton's Law of Gravitational Attraction. Shortly after formulating his three laws of motion, Newton postulated a law governing the gravitational attraction between any two particles. Stated mathematically, m¡m2 F = G- (1–2) where F = force of gravitation between the two particles G= universal constant of gravitation; according to experimental evidence, G = 66.73(1o-12) m²/(kg - s²) m1, m2 = mass of each of the two particles r = distance between the two particles

Explain why, when defining the length of a rod, it is necessary to specify that the positions of the ends of the rod are to be measured simultaneously.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft has traveled farther than any other man-made object, and inAugust 2012 it entered into interstellar space when it was a distanceof 1.8 * 1013 m from Earth. How many hours elapsed between thetime a command was sent from Earth and the time the commandwas received by Voyager when it entered interstellar space?
I performed a lab using a toy car to go down a ramp that was positioned at different heights. For expample: ramp height = 20 cm, ramp length = 121.92 cm, time car took to clear the ramp from start = 1.6 seconds, distance car traveled from end of ramp to stopping point = 378.46 cm, mass of car = .54 kg, based off this informatrion..... Calculate the deceleration for the car from the end of the ramp to the cars stopping point: d = (1/2) a t^2, (Correction) for this calculation d = horizontal length the car travels from the edge of the ramp to stopping.
Prove 1.) Assume that the population of a certain city increases at a rate proportional to the number of inhabitants that is presently living. If the population doubles in 2 years, and after 3 yes is 20,000, now what is the estimated initial residents living in city? Answer : 7062 2.)

Moon is at the distance 384400 km from Earth and orbits the Earth every ∼28 days. Ifthe radius of the Moon is 1737 km (consider it to be spherical), what is the area of themoon as measured by the observer on Earth? (Hint: Length contraction)
. In an experiment to measure the gravitational acceleration g, the distance of fall y and the time taken were measured to be 60.0 + 0.3 cm and 0.351 + 0.001 s.Find the gravitational acceleration g and its percentage uncertainty Δg /g. The accepted value for g is 9.80 m/s2. Find the percentage error. ( ? = 1/2 ??^2)
