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) A 12 kg object has a velocity of 37.5 m/s. What is its momentum?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The answer would be 450 m kg/s

Explanation/ Explanation / Example:

Provided an object traveled 500 meters in 3 minutes , to calculate the average velocity you should take the following steps: Change minutes into seconds (so that the final result would be in meters per second). 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds , Divide the distance by time: velocity = 500 / 180 = 2.77 m/s .

A cylinder-piston system contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1.5 105 pa.
Sedbober [7]

The change in the internal energy of the ideal gas is determined as -28 J.

<h3>Work done on the gas</h3>

The work done on the ideal gas is calculated as follows;

w = -PΔV

w = -1.5 x 10⁵(0.0006 - 0.0002)

w = -60 J

<h3>Change in the internal energy of the gas</h3>

ΔU = w + q

ΔU = -60J + 32 J

ΔU = -28 J

Thus, the change in the internal energy of the ideal gas is determined as -28 J.

If you are driving 128.4 km/h along a straight road and you look down for 3.0s, how far do you travel during this inattentive pe
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

107 m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

128.4 km/h × (1000 m / km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 35.67 m/s

Distance = rate × time

d = 35.67 m/s × 3.0 s

d = 107 m

Standing on the roof of a (42.0+A) m tall building, you throw a ball straight up with an initial speed of (14.5+B) m/s. If the b
RSB [31]
First, we must find the vertical distance traveled upwards by the ball due to the throw. For this, we will use the formula:

2as = v² - u²

Because the final velocity v is 0 in such cases

s = -u²/2a; because both u and a are downwards, the negative sign cancels

s = 14.5² / 2*9.81
s = 10.72 meters

Next, to find the time taken to reach the ground, we need the height above the ground. This is:
45 + 10.72 = 55.72 m

We will use the formula 
s = ut + 0.5at²

to find the time taken with the initial velocity u = 0.

55.72 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t²

t = 3.37 seconds
