The distance from the Earth's center to the point outside the Earth is 55800 Km

<h3>How to determine the distance from the surface of the Earth</h3>
  • Acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.8 m/s²
  • Acceleration due to gravity of the poin (g) = 1/60 × 9.8 = 0.163 m/s²
  • Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²
  • Mass of the Earth (M) = 5.97×10²⁴ Kg
  • Distance from the surface of the Earth (r) =?

g = GM / r²

Cross multiply

GM = gr²

Divide both sides by g

r² = GM / g

Take the square root of both sides

r = √(GM / g)

r = √[(6.67×10¯¹¹ × 5.97×10²⁴) / 0.163)]

r = 4.94×10⁷ m

Divide by 1000 to express in Km

r = 4.94×10⁷ / 1000

r = 4.94×10⁴ Km

<h3>How to determine the distance from the center of the Earth</h3>
  • Distance from the surface of the Earth (r) = 4.94×10⁴ Km
  • Radius of the Earth (R) = 6400 Km
  • Distance from the centre of the Earth =?

Distance from the centre of the Earth = R + r

Distance from the centre of the Earth = 6400 + 4.94×10⁴

Distance from the centre of the Earth = 55800 Km

The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe
xxTIMURxx [149]
The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

Light of wavelength 580 nm is incident on a slit of width 0.30 mm. An observing screen is placed 2.0 m past the slit. Find the d
uysha [10]

Answer:

Y = 3.87 x 10⁻³ m = 3.87 mm

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using Young's double-slit experiment formula:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}

where,

Y = fringe spacing = ?

L = slit to screen distance = 2 m

λ = wavelength of light = 580 nm = 5.8 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit width = 0.3 mm = 3 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

Y = \frac{(5.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{3\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>Y = 3.87 x 10⁻³ m = 3.87 mm</u>
