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.

Two metallic rods A and B of different materials have same length. The linear expansivity of A is 12×10–6 oC–1and cubical expans
uysha [10]

Answer:

The length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B

Explanation:

We, know that the formula for final length in linear thermal expansion of a rod is:

L' = L(1 + ∝ΔT)

where,

L' = Final Length

L = Initial Length

∝ = Co-efficient of linear expansion

ΔT = Change in temperature

Since, the rods here have same original length and the temperature difference is same as well. Therefore, the final length will only depend upon the coefficient of linear expansion.

For Rod A:

∝₁ = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

For Rod B:

∝₂ = β₂/3

where,

β₂ = Coefficient of volumetric expansion for rod B = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Therefore,

∝₂ = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹/3

∝₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Since,

∝₁ > ∝₂

Therefore,

L₁ > L₂

So, the length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B

¿Cuantos metros recorre una motocicleta en un segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90km/h?
Zina [86]

Answer:

La motocicleta recorre 25 metros en 1 segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90 km/h

Explanation:

La velocidad es una magnitud que expresa el desplazamiento que realiza un objeto en una unidad determinada de tiempo, esto es, relaciona el cambio de posición (o desplazamiento) con el tiempo.

Siendo la velocidad es el espacio recorrido en un período de tiempo determinado, entonces 90 km/h indica que en 1 hora la motocicleta recorre 90 km. Entonces, siendo 1 h= 3600 segundos (1 h=60 minutos y 1 minuto=60 segundos) podes aplicar la siguiente regla de tres: si en 3600 segundos (1 hora) la motocicleta recorre 90 km, entonces en 1 segundo ¿cuánta distancia recorrerá?

distancia=\frac{1 segundo*90 km}{3600 segundos}

distancia= 0.025 km

Por otro lado, aplicas la siguiente regla de tres: si 1 km es igual a 1,000 metros, ¿0.025 km cuántos metros son?

distancia=\frac{0.025 km*1,000 metros}{1 km}

distancia= 25 metros

<u><em>La motocicleta recorre 25 metros en 1 segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90 km/h</em></u>

What is meant by global warming?
pychu [463]

The global warming is the uniform heating of the globe due to the effect of greenhouse gases.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Global warming is thus the theory that says that earth is warming up with an increase in temperature over time due to increment in the greenhouse gases.

These are greenhouse gases that are getting increased due to the human activity or say over exploitation of the natural resources. The heating of the globe has caused ozone layer depletion which is also causing warming.

Which activity would be an appropriate first step
andriy [413]

Answer:

B. Researching the problem, using information from a variety of sources

Explanation:

First you must create a hypothesis because with out a hypothesis you can’t do the experiment. Then you have to do some research on your problem/ hypothesis from reliable sources. After have your research you can organize your data with a data table or chart. Then when have your research look for the independent and dependent variable and the control. Then you have to make a conclusion based on multiple experimental trials then repeat the experiment and if it ends up different from the first then something is wrong and that means that you did something wrong. Hopefully this helps you :)

pls mark brainlest ;)
