At height h above the surface of Earth, the gravitational acceleration is What is h? Note: The radius of Earth is 6380 km.

1 answer:

4 0

The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.

If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is

(6380 x √2) = 9,023 km (rounded) ,

and 'h' is the distance above the surface

= (9,023 - 6,380) = 2,643 km (rounded) .

Answer:

The magnetic field is 1.16 T.

Explanation:

speed, v = 10% of speed of light = 3 x 10^7 m/s

diameter, d = 54 cm

radius, r = 0.27 m

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

Let the magnetic field is B.

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force.

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\B =\frac{mv}{qr}\\\\B =\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 3\times 10^{7}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.27}\\\\B =1.16 T$
