How far (in meters) above the earth's surface will the acceleration of gravity be 85.0 % of what it is on the surface?

Physics

Answer:

X = 6910319.7 m

Explanation:

let X be the distance where the acceleration of gravity is 85% of what it is on the surface and g1 be the acceleration of gravity at the surface and g2 be the acceleration of gravity at some distance X above the surface.

on the surface of the earth, the gravitational acceleration is given by:

g1 = GM/(r^2) = [(6.67408×10^-11)(5.972×10^24)]/[(6371×10^3)^2] = 9.82 m/s^2

at X meters above the earth's surface, g2 = 85/100(9.82) = 8.35m/s^2

then:

g2 = GM/(X^2)

X^2 = GM/g2

   X =  \sqrt{GM/g2}

       = \sqrt{(6.67408×10^-11)(5.972×10^24)/ 8.35

       = 6910319.7 m

Therefore, the acceleration of gravity becomes 85% of what it is on the surface at  6910319.7 m .

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

An empty beaker is placed on a top-pan balance. Some water is now poured into the beaker.What is the weight of the water? A. 0.0
mario62 [17]

Answer:

A. 0.044 kg

Explanation:

We need to subtract the sum of (beaker+water - empty beaker) which is 0.106 kg - 0.062 kg = 0.044 kg. The answer will not be written in Newton because this unit is used for force only and in this question w have to find the weight.

Hope it is enough.

Please mark me as brainliest.
