The gram (g)
a nickel weighs 5 grams, and a raisin weighs approximately 1 gram.
There is also the kilogram(kg), or 1000 grams
<span>A rocket experiences a constant force even as the amount of fuel in its fuel tanks decreases. The acceleration on the other hand would increase since mass and acceleration is inversely proportional. By virtue of the equation F=ma. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
1.23×10⁸ m
Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity is:
a = GM / r²
where G is the universal gravitational constant,
M is the mass of the planet,
and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.
When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.
g = GM / R²
When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.
1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²
Divide the first equation by the second:
g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)
410 = (i + R)² / R²
410 R² = (i + R)²
410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²
0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²
Solve with quadratic formula:
i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)
i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2
i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2
i = -R ± R√410
i = (-1 ± √410) R
Since i > 0:
i = (-1 + √410) R
R = 6.37×10⁶ m:
i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m
I think fission chain reaction is the correct answer.
