Given: Normal pull of gravity g = 9.8 m/s²; 

 g = 0.855 m/s²  (at a certain distance)

Universal gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Mass of the Earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

Radius r = ?

g = GMe/r²

r = √GMe/g

r = √(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)/(0.855 m/s²)

r = 2.16 x 10⁷ m or 

r =  21,610 Km

A 480 g peregrine falcon reaches a speed of 75 m/s in a vertical dive called a stoop. If we assume that the falcon speeds up und
Svet_ta [14]

The minimum height of the dive needed to achieve the given speed is v = 69 m/s is 242.9 m.

Given information:

The mass of peregrine falcon is,  m = 480

The final speed reached by the peregrine falcon in a vertical dive is, v = 69 m/s

It is given that the falcon is diving vertically downward. It can be compared with the same situation as the free-falling object under the effect of gravity only. So, the initial velocity of the falcon will be u = 0 m/s  as the motion starts with rest.

The value of the gravitational acceleration of gravity is, g = 9.80 m/s²

Now, using the third equation of motion, the minimum height  required for the final speed will be,

v² - u² = 2gh

69² - 0² = 2 × 9.8 × h

h = 242.9m.

Therefore, the minimum height of the dive needed to achieve the given speed is 242.9 m.

How many significant digits should the answer to the following problem have? (2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =
Feliz [49]

The number of significant digits to the answer of the following problem is four.

<h3>What are the significant digits?</h3>

The number of digits rounded to the approximate integer values are called the significant digits.

The following problem is

(2.49303 g) * (2.59 g) / (7.492 g) =

On solving we get

= 0.86184566204

The answer is approximated to  0.86185

Thus, the significant digits must be four.
