How was the gravitational constant G first determined

1 answer:

6 0

In equation form, this is often expressed as follows: The constant of proportionality in this equation is G - the universal gravitation constant. The value of G was not experimentally determined until nearly a century later (1798) by Lord Henry Cavendish using a torsion balance.

No, we cannot touch gravity nor can we physically see it. We can only see how it works.

6. The hole on a level, elevated golf green is a horizontal distance of 150 m from the tee and at an elevation of 12.4 m above t

Georgia [21]

Answer:

u = 104.68 m/s

Explanation:

given,

horizontal distance = 150 m

elevation of 12.4 m

angle = 8.6°

horizontal motion = x = u cos θ. t .............(1)

vertical motion =

$y = u sin \theta - \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$ ................(2)

from equation(1) and (2)

$y = x tan \theta - \dfrac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta}$ ..........{3}

$12.4 = 150\times tan (8.6) - \dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2u^2cos^2(8.6)}$

$\dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2u^2cos^2(8.6)} = 10.29$

$\dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2\times 10.29\times cos^2(8.6)} = u^2$

$u = \sqrt{10959.34}$

u = 104.68 m/s

The initial speed of the ball is u = 104.68 m/s

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

t=(0-(250sin75)^2)/-9.8
the distance one is (2500+610)- (250m/s*cos75)*t=Dh Dh=horizontal distance 

the max height one is d=0.5*9.8*t^2 
d= max height subtract 1800-d
