- The scale bar on a map shows that 2 cm is equivalent to 500 km on earth. If two seismometers are 3.5 cm apart on the map, what distance apart are they on earth (in km)?y(t)=y0+vy0t-0.5gt2 1) Using algebra shows that a meteor, initially at rest(vy0=0) will take about 20 minutes to fall from an altitudeof 7,000 km as shown in the diagram to the right. Note thatthe change in y is negative and you will need to convert kminto meters for the units to work out correctly. The calculation from problem 1) is incorrect though. Thereason being that acceleration is not constant. Theacceleration due to gravity varies with height. When near thesurface of the Earth objects accelerate at g = 9.8 m/s2 however when the meteor is further away from the Earth it’sthe acceleration is less. The meteors acceleration is actually given by the formula. ay=-G(M/r2)Don’t worry about the K - images. Just focus on the figure 1 provided
- How deep would be the eclipse caused by Jupiter transiting in front of the Solar disk, as observed from a distant star? To calculate it, compute the ratio of the crosssection of the Solar disk minus the cross-section of the Jupiter disk to the crosssection of the Solar disk (find the diameters online), and remove that number from 1 (it is a small number). SHOW YOUR WORK!Students set up an investigation to model the apparent brigntness of four diferent stars. They used four identical nachlights and a dark plece of poster board. They labeled the lashights A, B. C. and D. Each Nashight had brand new bateries. The students ploced the flashlights at different distances from the poster boord. Then, the students umed on the flashlights and observed the circles of Ight that shone on the poster tboard.
