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.

A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V. A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly ch
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

First Capacitor is 10 µF

C_1 = 10 µF

Potential difference is

V_1 = 10 V.

The charge on the plate is

q_1 = C_1 × V_1 = 10 × 10^-6 × 10 = 100µC

q_1 = 100 µC

A second capacitor is 5 µF

C_2 = 5 µF

Potential difference is

V_2 = 5V.

Then, the charge on the capacitor 2 is.

q_2 = C_2 × V_2

q_2 = 5µF × 5 = 25 µC

Then, the average capacitance is

q = (q_1 + q_2) / 2

q = (25 + 100) / 2

q = 62.5µC

B. The two capacitor are connected together, then the equivalent capacitance is

Ceq = C_1 + C_2.

Ceq = 10 µF + 5 µF.

Ceq = 15 µF.

The average voltage is

V = (V_1 + V_2) / 2

V = (10 + 5)/2

V = 15 / 2 = 7.5V

Energy dissipated is

U = ½Ceq•V²

U = ½ × 15 × 10^-6 × 7.5²

U = 4.22 × 10^-4 J

U = 422 × 10^-6

U = 422 µJ

A hydraulic cylinder on an industrial machine pushes a steel block a distance of x feet (0 ≤ x ≤ 6), where the variable force re
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

W = 1080.914 J

Explanation:

f(x) = 1100xe⁻ˣ

Work done by a variable force moving through a particular distance

W = ∫ f(x) dx (with the integral evaluated between the interval that the force moves through)

W = ∫⁶₀ 1100xe⁻ˣ dx

W = 1100 ∫⁶₀ xe⁻ˣ dx

But the integral can only be evaluated using integration by parts.

∫ xe⁻ˣ dx

∫ vdu = uv - ∫udv

v = x

(dv/dx) = 1

dv = dx

du = e⁻ˣ dx

∫ du = ∫ e⁻ˣ dx

u = -e⁻ˣ

∫ vdu = uv - ∫udv

∫ xe⁻ˣ dx = (-e⁻ˣ)(x) - ∫ (-e⁻ˣ)(dx)

= -xe⁻ˣ - e⁻ˣ = -e⁻ˣ (x + 1)

∫ xe⁻ˣ dx = -e⁻ˣ (x + 1) + C (where c = constant of integration)

W = 1100 ∫⁶₀ xe⁻ˣ dx

W = 1100 [-e⁻ˣ (x + 1)]⁶₀

W = 1100 [-e⁻⁶ (6 + 1)] - [-e⁰ (0 + 1)]

W = 1100 [-0.0173512652 + 1]

W = 1100 × (0.9826487348)

W = 1080.914 J

Hope this Helps!!!
