Gravitational constant

exert a gravitational force of attraction between each other. This force is directly proportional to the masses of both the objects, M1 and M2, and inversely dependent on the square of the distance, d that separates their centers. As the mass…

Introduction One thing that sets us apart from other species is our determination to quench our curiosity. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have done everything in their power to explore the depths of space. And now, in this day and age we are at a point where the far fetched dreams of those before us are no longer as impossible as they seem. It excites me that in the near future I may witness incredible feats being reached in space travel. Thus, I chose to garner a better…

His equations also were used to prove that gravity can bend light we see this theory in action in black holes their massive gravitational pull. This pull is so strong that light can't even escape it. Fields of gravity can also distort light and absorb its rays The theory of relativity also demonstrates that light was the same in the vacuum of space as it was on earth excluding black…

energy at the bottom of the ramp should equal the potential energy at the top of the ramp without regard to the path taken. Thus, for method 1, the equations for kinetic energy (1/2mv²) and potential gravitational energy (U_g=mgh) were used. For the second method, the concepts and formulas for constant acceleration was used in conjunction with the equation for kinetic energy. The equation, d_y=v_i t+1/2 at², was used to find the time of flight of the marble after it left the ramp. The time was…

built up. The transformation of kinetic and potential energy is referred to as mechanical energy transformation. Both Kinetic and Potential energy are greatly affected by gravity. These energies alone cannot pull the roller coaster; it requires gravitational potential and kinetic energy in order to maneuver the cars as intended. The speed corresponds with kinetic energy where as the height corresponds with potential energy. Although speed and the transfer of energy are main sources of…

of the book tells the story of the British natural philosopher Isaac Newton and how he developed his gravitational equation (F=G × M × m÷d^2), which led to a monumental event landing a man on the moon. (Guillen, 1995, p.6) The second chapter "Between a Rock and a Hard Life" tells the story of Swiss physicist Daniel Bernoulli and how he developed his hydrodynamic equation( P+p × 1⁄(2 v^2 )=CONSTANT), which led ultimately to the modern airplane. (Guillen, 1995, p.5) The third chapter "Class…

to accelerate downwards at the same rate, regardless of the object’s mass. On Earth, acceleration due to gravity is constant of 9.81m/s^2. Therefore on Earth when air resistance is not present, all objects fall at the same acceleration of 9.81m/s^2. However, on the planet Vela Rani, the value of acceleration due to gravity is 15.3m/s^2. Therefore, all objects within the gravitational field will fall faster than on earth due to the increase in force pulling the object to the center. Additionally,…

Ocean currents are impelled by different forces. Such forces can incorporate the wind, tidal patterns due to the gravitational pull from the sun and moon, the Coriolis force and water temperature. An ocean current can move for some miles. The way a current flow is usually reliable. (Zmuida, n.d) Wind can impel ocean currents to move due to resistance. Contingent on the…

The Earth is a part of the solar system and it has been influenced by its elements since it was formed. The solar system was formed from a large nebular cloud. This nebular cloud began to spin producing energy due to the collision between particles. The composition of these colliding particles included metal-rich fragments such as iron meteorites, rocky fragments such as stony meteorites, and icy fragments such as comets. The solar nebula grew hotter and denser, forming a disk of gas and dust at…

Electric force: In electric spray deposition the electric force is the main force to drive droplets having magnitude higher than gravitational force (D.Perednis et al., 2004). The electric force (F_e) is given by, F_e = q_dE where E is electric field strength and q_d is dropet size. c. Stokes force: The stokes force acts on the droplet due to the air resistance. This results due to…
