Makayla is talking to Mia about the whether we ever landed on the Moon. Mia says,” I have a theory about that.” Using 3 – 4 complete sentences, what is wrong with Mia’s use of the term “theory” in this instance? Mia is wrong to use the word theory because the word implies that you have some scientific evidence to back up whatever your theory states. She is implying that she went through an experiment and gathered information about her theory. She should gather evidence to use the word correctly other wise its just more of a hypothesis than theory.
• Choose ONE of the scenarios below, then design an experiment and describe a procedure to enable you to make an estimate of the average speed. Your description should include the materials …show more content…
The rope swings which is the centripetal acceleration, the man must also move forward with enough velocity to reach out to the women in time to grab her. When the women grabs a hold of the mans arms gravity begins and brings them swinging back to the mans beginning position. • Using 6400 km as the radius of Earth, calculate how high above Earth’s surface you would have to be in order to weigh 1/16th of your current weight. Show all work leading to your answer OR describe your solution using 3 -4 complete sentences. Since you want to see how far you would have to be from the surface of earth we would have to find the surface first. Since the radius is 6,400 km if you square that you get 40,960,000. Then you multiply that number by pi 3.14…. which gives you 128,679,635. Then you multiply all that by 4 which gives you 514,718,540. This would be the surface of earth. Then to find out how far away from the Earths surface area you would have to be to be 1/16 of your weight you would multiply the surface area by 16 and get 8,235,496,645 km away.
• The sun’s mass is about 2.7 x 107 times greater than the moon’s mass. The sun is about 400 times farther from Earth than the moon. How does the gravitational force exerted on Earth by the sun compare with the gravitational force exerted on Earth by the
