<span>Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's closer to the Earth than to the Sun. Because of this proximity between the Earth and the Moon, the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the Sun does. Furthermore, the Earth's mass is 81 times that of the Moon, and so at this proximity, it is more than able to overpower what pull the Sun exerts on the Moon.</span>

The acceleration due to gravity, g , is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

  g    = g₀   [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

        F = G m Me / Re²

Where g is the universal gravitational constant, m and Me are the mass of the body and the Earth, respectively and R is the distance between them

      F = G Me /Re²  m

We call gravity acceleration a

       g₀ = G Me / Re².

When the body is at a height h above the surface the distance is

            R = Re + h

Therefore  the attractive force is

      F = G Me m / (Re + h)²

Let's take Re's common factor

      F = G Me / Re²  m / (1+ h / Re)²

As Re has a value of 6.37 10⁶ m and the height of the body in general is less than 10⁴ m, the h / Re term is very small, so we can perform a series expansion

         (1+ h / Re)⁻² = 1 -2 h / Re + 6/2 (h / Re) 2 + ...

Let's replace

       F = G Me /Re²   m [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

       F = g₀   m  [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

If we call the force of attraction at height

     m g =g₀ m  [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

       g    = g₀   [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

If 0.035pC of charge is transferred via the movement of Al3+ ions, how's many of these must be transferred in total? Please add
mr Goodwill [35]

Each Al^+^3 ion contains three extra protons. Hence, the extra charge on each  Al^+^3 = 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 C

Total charge = 0.035 pC

Total charge (Q) = 0.035 \times 10^-^1^2 C

Let the number of Al^+^3 ions be n.

According to question:

n \times 3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9 =0.035 \times 10^-^1^2

n = \frac{0.035 \times 10^-^1^2}{3 \times 1.6 \times 10^-^1^9}

n = 7.29167 \times 10^4

n = 72917

Hence, the total number of ions needed to be transferred is 72917
