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 silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after
Delicious77 [7]
\Delta L=  \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum
skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.

A 5000 g toy car starts from rest and moves a distance of 300 cm in 3 s under the action of a single constant force. Determine t
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

3.33 N

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration.

Given:

Δx = 3 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 3 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

3 m = (0 m/s) (3 s) + ½ a (3 s)²

a = ⅔ m/s²

Use Newton's second law to find the force.

F = ma

F = (5 kg) (⅔ m/s²)

F ≈ 3.33 N
