At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear

th is 6.4x10^6 metres and the acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2 on the surface of the earth.

We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2 
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1)       Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8             = 7058 kms    Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2     Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9                 = 9019 kms        Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 3.40 mm . what is the differenc
Strike441 [17]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:  

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

 

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d 
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y .. 
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D  y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D </span>

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D 
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1] 

<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>

A pendulum oscillates 12 times in 4 seconds. what is the length of the pendulum?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

L = 2.8 cm

Explanation:

Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = (T/2π)²g

L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm
