The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.

In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
r=R+h=6370 km+300 km=6670 km= 6.67 \cdot 10^{6} m

And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.67 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}  = 8.95 m/s^2

And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is g_s = 9.81 m/s^2.

A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resi
finlep [7]

<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

Describe the general relationship between the weight of adult men and the average number of Calories needed daily to maintain a
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The average number of calories needed daily represents the average quantity of calories eliminated by human body due to metabolism and must be compensated by eating and drinking.

The amount of calories contained in the food we eat every day must represent the amount of calories eliminated by the body in that time to have a steady weight.

Explanation:

The average number of calories needed daily represents the average quantity of calories eliminated by human body due to metabolism and must be compensated by eating and drinking. If total quantity of calories in the food we consume every day is higher that the average number of calories needed daily, then weight increases by fat accumulation.

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.
