You've given the answer, right there in your question.

The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.

We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about 

                     (1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times

the Earth's radius, so the height is about  910 miles above the surface.

Is it daylight all over the world at the same time then nighttime all over the world at the same time?explain.
Afina-wow [57]
It is neither. on one half of the world at a time it is daytime(because that is the side facing the sun, therefore reciving light from the sun) and on the other side on earth it would be nighttime because that side is facing away from the sun. please review this on google if you are unsure.

Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a rough floor. He decides to move them at the
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force of friction acting on the system

= .04 x 9.8 ( 10.2 + 7 )

= 6.74 N

Net force = 8.9 - 6.74

= 2.16 N

Acceleration in the system

= 2.16 /  ( 10.2 + 7 )

= .12558 m / s ²

Contact force between boxes = FP

Considering force on box A

Net force = 8.9 - FP

Applying Newton's law on box A

8.9 - FP = 10.2 x .12558

= 1.28

FP = 8.9 - 1.28

= 7.62 N

fgiga [73]

Answer:

t = 17199 years

Explanation:

given,

mass of sample = 1.09 Kg

Activity of living material   = 15 decays / min /g

Activity of living material   = 15 x 1000 decays /min /kg

Activity of living material per 1.09 kg A = 1.09 x 15 x 1000 decays / min

Activity of after time t is A ' = 2020

half life = 57300 years

desegregation constant

λ = 0.693 / 5700

A'= A e^{-\lambda\ t}

A'= 1.09 \times 15 \times 1000 e^{-\lambda\ t}

2020= 1.09 \times 15 \times 1000 e^{-\dfrac{0.693}{5700}\times t}

0.124=e^{-\dfrac{0.693}{5700}\times t}

taking ln both side

\dfrac{0.693}{5700}\times t = 2.09

t = 17199 years

Acarisstoppedataredlight.Whenthelightturnsgreen,thecarspeedsup to 80 m/s in 5 s. What is the acceleration of the car?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

16m/s/s

Explanation:

Solving for acceleration you do a=Vf-Vi/a and since the car stopped at a red light the Vi is 0m/s and since the car speeds up to 80m/s the Vf is 80m/s and the time is 5s and the answer would be 16m/s/s

How does solubility change with temperature changes?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Solubility increases with temperature.

Explanation:

-Increasing temperatures, increases the kinetic energy that allows solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules.

-This solute molecules are held together by intermolecular attractions which weakens in higher temperatures.

-Solubility therefore increases with increasing temperatures.
