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

Two​ vehicles, a car and a​ truck, leave an intersection at the same time. the car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles pe
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per​ hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per​ hour from the intersection point towards South.

The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is 50t.

The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is 60t.

Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d​ (in miles) at the end of t hours is

d=\sqrt{(50t)^2+(60t)^2} \\ d=10\sqrt{61} t\\ d=78.1t

Thus the distance apart is d=78.1t \;miles

Does a black hole have 2 sides that pull light together?
Ostrovityanka [42]
Check this Light doesn't have mass or gravity right?
So if it doesn't have mass or gravity so light can only affect objects with mass
Does that make sense?
The black hole has gravity and remember light doesn't have gravity so does it affect the light?
To answer that yes, and since light doesn't have gravity it gets "pulled" into the black hole

I hope this helps you

a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minu
TiliK225 [7]

When a  woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes. She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes. then the woman's average speed during her entire motion would be  73.15 meters /minute.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed.

the mathematical expression for speed is given by

speed = total; distance /total time

As given in the problem a woman walks south at a speed of 2.0mph for 60 minutes

60 min = 1 hour

1 mile = 1.60934 km

The distance covered by her southwards  =  speed ×time

                                                                      =2 mph × 60 minutes

                                                                      = 3.218 km

She then turns around and walks north at a distance of 3000m in 25 minutes

The distance covered northward is 3000m

speed = total distance /total time

          =(3218 +3000) /(60+25)

          =73.15 meters /minutes

Thus, The average speed of the woman would be 73.15 meters /minute.
