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) .

Two loudspeakers in a 20c room emit 686 hz sound waves along the x-axis.a. if the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest di

jeyben [28]

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

<u>Explanation :</u>

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at $20^0\ C$ is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$ ........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$d=\dfrac{v}{2f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}$

$d=0.25\ m$

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

$d=n\lambda$ ( n = integers )

Let n = 1

So, $d=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{686\ Hz}$

$d=0.5\ m$

Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

$y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where $y=vertical\ distance$

$a=acceleration$

$t=time$

$v=initial\ velocity$

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

$y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y=v\sin \theta -0.5g$

In absence of gravity

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times t$

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1$

$\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m$

According to Coulomb's law, the electrical force between two charged objects:A.is zero if they are opposite charges.B.increases

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer and explanation:

A correct option is an option (B).

The electrical force between two charges is given as,

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_1}{r^2}$

The electrical force is directly proportional to the product of two charges. Thus Force will depend on two charges irrespective of their signs.

Option (A) is incorrect because if charges are opposite, the value of force will not be zero. It will be -ve.

Option (C) is incorrect because the force is directly proportional to the product of charges, it depends on the amount of charge.

Option (D) is also incorrect because the force in inversly proportional to the distance between two charges. Thus, if the distance between two charges is increased, the force between two charges will decrease.

Concllusion:

The correct option is option (B).

I only need help with the two bottom questions! Please help though!!!

kompoz [17]

If the rabbits died out, the other organisms would be likely to die. (If that were their main source of food.)

producer- something that produces food for other organisms (and is consumed). ex.grass

primary consumers- eat the producers and like first. ex. rabbit
secondary consumer- eats the primary consumers

Scavenger - is basically an organism that scavenges for food ex. vulture.

good luck!
