Answer:

g=9.64m/s^2.

Explanation:

Gravitational field strength (in other words, gravitational acceleration) is given as follows:g=GMR2g=R2GMwhere G=6.674×10−11m3kg⋅s2G=6.674×10−11kg⋅s2m3 is the gravitational constant, M=5.972×1024kgM=5.972×1024kg is the mass of the Earth, and R=6.371×106m+0.06×106m=6.431×106mR=6.371×106m+0.06×106m=6.431×106m is the distance from the center of the Earth to the required point above the surface (radius plus 60 km).

Force of 10N down,10N to the right,and 5N to the left are acting on a ball .it acceleration horizontally to the right.what other

denpristay [2]

Answer:

A 10 N force pointing up

Explanation:

If the net acceleration of the object is horizontal pointing to the right, that means that all vertical forces must have canceled out, and the only ones "unbalanced" are the horizontal ones (10 N to the right minus 5 N to the left giving a net force of 5 N to the right).

Since they mentioned only one vertical force pointing down (10 N), there must be another one of same magnitude but pointing in opposite direction (up).

Then there must also be a 10 N force pointing up acting on the object.

How do you find the voltage of a section of a parallel circuit?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +.
