On the earth surface g = GM/R^2
 And at the hieight h
 g" = GM/ [R+h] ^2
 g" = R^2/ [ R+h]^2 * g
 g" = {R/ [ R+h] }^2 * g
 g" = {6378/ 7083}^2 * 9.81 = 7.95 m/s^2
 --------------------------------------
T^2 = 4π^2 (R+h) /g"
T^2 = 4π^2 *7083 /7.95 
T = 187.54s = 0.052 hour.
 ========================
 Part B
 v = 2*π *[R+h] / T
 v = 2*π *[7.083] / 187.54s
 v = 0.24 km /s

A man paddles a canoe in a long, straight section of a river. The canoe moves downstream with constant speed 5 m/s relative to t
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider all movement with respect to water assuming that river is at rest or motionless .

speed of canoe = 5 m /s

in five minutes , distance between hat and canoe = 5 x 60 x 5

1500 m

This distance will be covered by man in return journey . In this case his speed is 5 m /s again considering river constant .

So this will be covered at 5 m /s

time taken = 1500 / 5 = 300 s

= 5 minutes .

so it will take 5 minutes to row back to reclaim his hat .
