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

kondaur [170]
<span>The force of static friction F equals the coefficient of friction u times the normal force N the object exerts on the surface: F = uN. N is the centripetal force of the wall on the people; N = ma_N, where m is the mass of the people and a_N is the centripetal acceleration. The people will not slip down if F is greater than the force of gravitation: F = uma_N > mg, or u > g/a_N. a_N is the velocity v of the people squared divided by the radius of the room r: a_N = v^2/r. The circumference of the room is 2 pi r = 28.3 m. So v = 28.3 * 0.8 m/sec = 22.6 m/sec. So a_N = 114 m/sec^2. g = 9.81 m/sec^2, so u must be at least 9.81/114 = 0.086.</span>

What happens if two black holes collide
blagie [28]

When two black holes spiral around each other and ultimately collide, they send out gravitational waves - ripples in space and time that can be detected with extremely sensitive instruments on Earth. ... If confirmed, it would be the first known light flare from a pair of colliding black holes.

Does a generator start a Direct Current?
lesya [120]
A direct-current (DC) generator is a rotating machine that supplies an electrical output with unidirectional voltage and current. ... The field is produced by direct current in field coils or by permanent magnets on the stator. The output, or armature, windings are placed in slots in the cylindrical iron rotor.

Fl-19 in florida, if your pwc is equipped with an engine cut-off lanyard, what must you do with it?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Attach it to clothing, personal flotation device or the person's person.

Explanation:

This particular Question or problem has to do with the rules and regulations or laws governing the use of Personal Watercraft(PWC) in the state of Florida in the United States of America. Hence, one of the rules that is applicable to the use of boats and waterways or the use of personal watercraft in Florida is that in florida, if ones pwc is equipped with an engine cut-off lanyard the person operating it must ATTACH IT TO THE CLOTHING, PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE IR THE OPERATORS' PERSON.

Another rule band the use of flammable personal flotation device with Personal Watercraft(PWC) in the state of Florida. All this rules and guildlines are made to limit or minimize hazards.
