What is the magnitude of g at a height above Earth's surface where free-fall acceleration equals 6.5m/s^2?

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.

A spaceprobe has an 29.0 m length when measured at rest. What length
elixir [45]

Answer:

The observer sees the space-probe 9.055m long.

Explanation:

Let L_0 be the length of the space-probe when measured at rest, and L be its length as observed by an observer moving at velocity v, then

(1).\: \: L = L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2} }

Now, we know that L_0 = 29.0m and v = 0.95c, and putting these into (1) we get:

L = 29\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2} }

L = 29\sqrt{1-0.95^2 }

\boxed{L = 9.055m}

Thus, an observer moving at 0.95c observes the space-probe to be 9.055m long.

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

Your friend says that the second law of thermodynamics can't be true because life itself is a highly ordered system that wouldn'
spayn [35]
This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C. 

Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.
