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

Spurs"" are probably the result of ____.
egoroff_w [7]

Spurs are probably the result of <u>self-sustaining</u> <u>star formation.</u>

<h3>What is the formation of gaseous spurs in spiral galaxies?</h3>

The gigantic form of the magnificent doppelganger spiral patterns that spiral outward from the galactic cores gave spiral galaxies their name. These light arms of spiral galaxies are frequently seen in optical pictures to be speckled with bright star-forming areas at regular intervals.

Smaller structures spread forth and rearward into the interarm area from each major spiral arm. Spiral-arm also known as spurs are the name given to these substructures. Sometimes the spurs are also filled with star-forming clusters. As a consequence, we may draw the conclusion that spurs most likely emerge from self-sustaining star formation.

Professor Whitney has a sample of lead and a sample of iron. The samples have equal mass. When Whitney heats the samples, the le
xenn [34]
The temperature increase of a substance is T=Q/m*c, where m is the mass, Q is the energy absorbed and c is the specific heat.  So you can conclude that if the lead gets to a higher temperature, it must have a lower specific heat
