Given the fact that water has less mass per cubic meter than soil and rock , would you expect the value of g to be smaller or larger than average over a lake?
An exoplanet (JB-2285), located in the galaxy closest to ours, uses a system where the units of mass and force are phljmth and xwyflr. respectively. Xwyflr is defined as the unit of force required to accelerate a unit mass, phljmth, with the gravitational acceleration (in m/s2) on the surface of the exoplanet which is seven tenths of the gravitational acceleration on earth’s surface (9.8066 m/s2). a. What is the conversion factor to convert a force in xwyflr to force in phljmth●m/s2? b. Calculate the weight in xwyflr of a 14.28 phljmth object on the surface of the exoplanet JB-2285. c. Determine the weight of the object in (b) in Newtons (N) in Mintal, Davao City if 137.224 N = 1.00 xwyflr? d. What is the mass in grams of a 796.2-phljmth object?
In this problem, you are going to explore three different ways to determine the gravitational constant G. a) By observing that the centripetal acceleration of the Moon around the Earth is ac = 2.66 × 10-3 m/s2, what is the gravitatonal constant G, in cubic meters per kilogram per square second? Assume the Earth has a mass of ME = 5.96 × 1024 kg, and the mean distance between the centers of the Earth and Moon is rm = 3.81 × 108 m. b) Measuring the centripetal acceleration of an orbiting object is rather difficult, so an alternative approach is to use the period of the orbiting object. Find an expression for the gravitational constant in terms of the distance between the gravitating objects rm, the mass of the larger body (the earth) ME, and the period of the orbiting body T. c) The gravitational constant may also be calculated by analyzing the motion of an object, launched from the surface of the earth at an initial velocity of vi. Find an expression of the gravitational constant…
