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

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) .

A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on
Vikki [24]

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F_f = ma (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

Earth's gravity acts upon objects with a steady force of __________.
luda_lava [24]
None of the choices is a force. 'a' and 'b' are speeds. 'C' and 'd' are accelerations. ... The steady force of gravity is 9.8 newtons PER KILOGRAM of mass. ... The question is written by someonewho very much wants to discourage anyone interested in Physics.

The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave obeys the equation E=(375V/m)cos[(1.99×107rad/m)x+(5.97×1015rad/s)t].a.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A) max = Eo = 375 V/m, B)  B = 125 10⁻⁸ T , C) f = 9.50 101⁴ Hz, D) λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m, E)  T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s , F) invisible for humans   G)  v = c = 3 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The expression given for the electric field is

       E = 375 cos (1.99 107x + 5.97 105t)

The general formula for the electric field of a transverse traveler is

     E = Eo cos (kx-wt)

Where k is the wave number and w the angular velocity

A) The amplitudes as electric is

     Emax = Eo = 375 V / m

B) the electric and magnetic field are related

     E / B = c

     B = E / c

     B = 375/3 108

     B = 125 10⁻⁸ T

C) angular velocity and frequency is related

    .w = 2π f

     f = w / 2π

     f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

     f = 9.50 101⁴ Hz

D) the speed of light has the formula

      c = λ f

      λ = c / f

      λ = 3 10⁸ / 9.50 10¹⁴

      λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m

E) The period

     T = 1 / f

     T = 1 / 9.5 10¹⁴

     T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

F) let's reduce the wavelength nm

   λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹nm / 1m)

   λ = 3.158 10²nm = 315.3 nm

The visible radiation range is between 400nm and 700nm. This radiation is ultraviolet and is invisible humans

G) All electromagnetic radiation has a speed at the speed of light (c)

      v = c = 3 10⁸ m/s

PLEASE HELP !! A 10 ohm resistor is connected to a 9V battery how much current is flowing through the circuit?
kompoz [17]

Resitance (R)= 10 Ohm

Potential difference (V) = 9V

V= IR

I= V/R

I= 9/10

I= 0.9 Ampere

Therefore 0.9 Ampere of current is flowing through the circuit.
