The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.
In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is
.
Answer:
Time taken, 
Explanation:
It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.
From the figure,
The sum of forces in y direction is :
Sum of forces in x direction,
.............(1)
Also, 
Equation (1) becomes :
...............(2)
Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :
Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:
On solving above equation :
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
When friction slows a sliding block, <u>the kinetic energy of the block is transformed into internal energy
.</u>
<em>The frictional movement of two surfaces over one another leads to the conversion of some of their kinetic energies to another energy - heat or thermal energy. Hence, the temperatures of the objects are raised in the process. </em>
<u>Therefore, when a sliding block is slowed down due to friction, some of the kinetic energy of the block would be transformed into internal energy in the form of heat.</u>
The correct option is A.
