Answer in N and pointing towards or away from sphere. Thank you so much
You also arrested me on the suspicion of art theft. I profess innocence, claiming that I forged a copy of the egg, and so I can’t be accused of stealing a copy that I made. How do you determine whether the egg is a copy or a real work of art? You know that the real Fabergé Egg is mostly hollow, while the “fake” egg may not be. You can model the egg as a cylindrical object (because modeling a real egg is complex), and roll it down an inclined plane. Measuring its velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane will allow you calculate the moment of inertia of the egg, which you can compare to the moments of inertia for a solid cylinder (a disk) and for a hollow cylinder (a hoop). You perform the experiment using a ramp 0.5 m high at one end. You measure the mass of the egg at 400 g and its maximum radius at 9 mm. After several trials, you determine the average velocity of the egg at the bottom of the ramp is 2.56 m/s. Am I going down for art theft?

- Armand Hippolyte Fizeau was the first to determine the light light speed in an Earth-based experiment by sending source light through periodically spaced openings in a fast rotating wheel, then reflecting the light in a mirror placed D = 10.000 km away. When the wheel rotation was just right, the reflected light would again pass through a hole in the wheel to be observed. In the diagram, the radius of the wheel (the distance from the centre to the inner edge of the cuts) r= 0.250 partially reflecting mirror observer m, the wheel has 22 cuts as shown. Montmartre toothed wheel (a) Determine the separation between two adjacent cuts on the wheel. (b) If the period of wheel rotation, T 2.5 x 10s determine the tangential speed of the inner edge of the cuts. (c) The speed of light measured by Fizeau was 3.15 x 10° m/s.

Newton’s second law of motion in vector form is: F^→=ma^→ (1) where F^→ is the force vector in N (Newtons), and a^→ is the acceleration vector in m/s^2,and m is the mass in kg. Newton’s law of gravitation in vector form is: F^→=GMm/lr^→l*r^→/lr^→l where G=6.67x10^-11 m^3/s^2*kg is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the larger object (the Sun), and is 2x10^30 kg, and m is the mass the smaller one (the planets or the spacecraft). The vector r^→ is the vector connecting the Sun to the orbiting objects. Step one ) The motion force in Equation(1), and the gravitational force in Equation(2) are equal. Equate the right hand sides of equations (1) and (2), and cancel the common factor on the left and right sides.
