Why is Newton's version of Kepler's third law so useful to
astronomers?
It is the only way to determine the masses of many distant objects.
O It tells us how rapidly a planet spins on its axis.
O It explains why objects spin faster when they shrink in size.
O It tells us that more-distant planets orbit the Sun more rapidly.
I am struggling to find where the arrows points go and can you help me figure out where they go and give me a explanation.
Answer the question in full details, thank you very much, Answer on the correct significant figures:
Suppose you are a space traveler, and you land on the surface of a strange new planet. As stated in yourStarfleet Manual, your first job is to measure the acceleration due to gravity, g, on this planet. You construct an"Atwood machine”, which consists of two masses connected to a pulley by a string of negligible mass, asshown in the figure. One of the masses is m1 = 54.1 kg and the other is m2 = 44.0 kg. The pulley is auniform disk of mass M = 108.0 kg and radius r = 67.0 cm; it is mounted on frictionless bearings. Whenreleased from rest, the heavier mass moves down 21.1 cm in 0.57 s, and there is no slippage of the string onthe pulley.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, in m/s^2
What is the acceleration due to gravity gg on this planet? Give the answer in m/s^2
