Answer:

3600km

Explanation:

gravitational constant is the gravitational attraction between any two things

G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

g = acceleration due to gravity = 4 m/s²

M = mass of the earth = 6 × 10²⁴

r = radius of Earth + height of meteor

Since F = mg and F = GMm/r², mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

r² = GM/g

r = √(GM/g)

r = √((6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²) × (6 × 10²⁴ kg))/(4 m/s²)) =

1 × 10⁷ m = 1 × 10⁴ km

To calculate the height of the meteor above the earth,

subtract the radius of the earth from the calculated radius.

height of meteor = 1 × 10⁴ km - 6 × 10³ km = 4 × 10³ km

Katarina [22]
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.

Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

Explanation:

P = Power = 50 kW

n = Number of photons per second

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

\nu = Frequency = 781 kHz

r = Distance at which the photon intensity is i = 1 photon/m²

Power is given by

P=nh\nu\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{P}{h\nu}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{50000}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 781000}\\\Rightarrow n=9.66201\times 10^{31}\ photons/s

Photon intensity is given by

i=\dfrac{n}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}}\\\Rightarrow r=2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

The distance is 2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m

How can we tell when forces are acting on an object (science)
iren [92.7K]

If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.
