When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d ue to the earth's gravitation?
2 answers:
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
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 , so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:
And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to hydrostatic pressure. Which determines the pressure of a body at a given depth of a liquid.
Mathematically this can be described as
Here
= Density
g = Gravity
h = Height (Depth)
If we replace the values given in the equation we will have to
Therefore the pressure at the bottom will be 9.8kPa

The answer is definitely Water
Density formula is: D = m / V Volume of the matchbox car: V = 46 ml - 41 ml = 5 ml = 0.005 l = 0.005 dm³ D = 10 g / 0.005 dm³D = 2000 g / dm³ = 2 kg / dm³ = 2 × 10 ^(-3) kg/m³
