Answer: g =0.76 m/s^2

Explanation: The gravitational acceleration is calculated with the equation.

g = G*M/r^

Where G is a constant of gravitation, M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance of the meteoroid to the earth (to the center of the earth).

G = 6.67408×10^-11 m^3*kg^-1*s^-2

Earth radius = 6371km

M = 5.972 × 10^24 kg

and we know that r = 2.6 times the radius of the earth + radius of the earth, so r = 3.6*6371km

and we need to write this in meters, so r = 3.6*6371*1000m

and g = (6.67408×10^-11 m^3*kg^-1*s^-2)( 5.972 × 10^24 kg)/(3.6*1000*6371m)^2

= 0.76 m/s^2

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m, so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e =  2.29 \cdot 10^7 m

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2} =  \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2

Answer:

The electromagnetic waves appear more blue in color.

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect: When a source moves with respect to the observer the frequency of the wave emitted from the source changes. If the source moves away from the observer, the frequency decreases and wavelength increases and vice versa.

Here the light source is moving towards the observer so the frequency will increase and wavelength will decrease. Thus the spectrum will shift towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift. The light wave will appear blue in color.

The two tests used for measuring each of the following fitness areas are as follows:

     a) Cardiorespiratory fitness → The 2.4 km run test; Astrand treadmill test

     b) Muscle strength → Muscle Testing Scale,  Bench/Leg press

     c) Body Composition → DEXA Scan, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

      Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability of the circulatory as well as the respiratory systems to deliver oxygen to the mitochondria of skeletal muscle for energy generation during physical activity.

     

      Cardiorespiratory fitness is a vital indicator of both physical and mental wellbeing. It can lower the chance of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Cardiorespiratory fitness improves lung and heart health while also increasing emotions of well-being.

  • The astrand treadmill test is used widely for testing the fitness of cardiorespiratory. The usefulness of this test is used to assess a client's aerobic fitness.
  • The 2.4 km run test is an uncomplicated running test that needs the use of a stopwatch and a running track. It is widely used for aerobic fitness

      Muscle strength refers to the capacity to move and lift items.  It is determined by the amount of power you can exert and the amount of weight you can lift within a short amount of time.

   

      The test used to determine the muscle strength can be:

  • Muscle Testing Scale;
  • Bench/Leg Press

     

     Muscular strength testing is used to examine a complaint of weakness, which is common when there is a suspectable neurologic illness or muscle imbalance.

 

      Bench presses are weight-training exercises that can be added to your routine to help increase upper body strength and improve muscular endurance.

      Body Composition relates to the bones, muscles, and body fat in the body. Body physique composition is used by medical professionals to determine if you are at a healthy weight for your specific body.

       The test used to determine the body Composition can be:

  • DEXA Scan
  • Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis  

        Dexa Scan scans your body using x-ray technology to offer a thorough evaluation of the amount of muscle mass and fat mass your body contains, as well as where fat and muscle are deposited or stored on your body.

        Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis evaluates fat-free mass by passing a low electric current across the body. Because electricity can only move by water, and each body tissue includes variable quantities of water, the conductivity of each tissue type influences the flow of the electric current. 

Therefore, from the above explanations, we can conclude that we've clearly understood the various test for each fitness area.
