To appreciate the strength of gravity, calculate the number of steel cables that would be required, in the absence of gravity, to hold the Moon in orbit about the Earth. Each cable has a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter, and the tensile strength of steel is 370 MPa.

The frequency of a given region of the electromagnetic spectrum ranges from 3 × 1016 − 3 × 1019 hertz. which type of wave is found in this region? a. x-rays b. ultraviolet rays c. infrared waves d. radio waves

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.

Asmall object with mass 0.200 kg swings back and forth on the lower end of a light rope that is 3.00 m long. the upper end of the rope is attached to the ceiling. as the object swings through its lowest position, where the rope is vertical, the speed of the object is 5.80 m/s. at this point in the motion, what is the tension in the rope? (use g = 9.80 m/s2.)
