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.

Ahmed fills a basket with shopping weighing 10 kg. How much work is being done on the shopping basket when he lifts it verticall
NISA [10]

The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

<h3>When is work said to be done?</h3>

Work is said to be done whenever a force moves an object through a certain distance.

The amount of work done on the shopping basket can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mgh

Where:

  • W = Amount of work done by the basket
  • m = mass of the shopping basket
  • h = height of the shopping basket
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

Form the question,

Given:

  • m = 10 kg
  • h = 1.5 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • W = 10(1.5)(9.8)
  • W = 147 J.

Hence, The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})

In this case:

  • W=?
  • m= 2,145 kg
  • v2= 12 \frac{m}{s}
  • v1= 25 \frac{m}{s}

Replacing:

W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})

W= -515,872.5 J

<u><em>The work required is -515,872.5 J</em></u>

Montano1993 [528]

Answer: Object B

Explanation: Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. It implies that more massive objects accelerates at a slower rate.

What happens to infrared radiation when it comes to contact wih a shiny suface
Ksivusya [100]

If a surface looks "shiny" to you, that's because it reflects all
or most of the visible light that hits it.  That doesn't always mean
that the same surface reflects other, non-visible wavelengths of
light.  Infrared radiation may also reflect off of it, and probably
does.  But you can't be sure just because it's visibly shiny.
