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.

irinina [24]

Answer:

$M_{av}=35.521amu$

Explanation:

As in any sample you will have 75.8% of Cl-35 iosotopes and 24.3% of Cl-37 iosotopes you can get the average atomic mass as:

$M_{av}=(35amu*75.8+37amu*24.3)/100=35.521amu$

The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following

vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

Potential energy P.E = mgh

Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

I think u can say thats a constant velocity, but remember if ur turning, or going around a curve, that is also changing velocity. Hope this helps have a great day!
