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

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

Infer why the output force exerted by a rake must be less than input force?
adell [148]
<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • input force refers to the force exerted on a machine, also known as the effort, while the output force is the force machines produce or the Load. The ratio of output force to input force gives the mechanical advantage of a simple machine
  • <em><u>The output force exerted by the rake must be less than the input force because one has to use force while raking. The force used to move the rake is the input force. </u></em>
  • <em><u>The rake is not going to be able to convert all of the input force into output force, the force the rake applies to move the leaves, because of friction.</u></em>

Which of the following would be a good question that could be scientifically investigated? What is the best advice a parent can
Nesterboy [21]
<span>"Does lack of sunlight affect plant growth?"

This question can be investigated with procedures according to
the Scientific Method, because "lack of sunlight" can be arranged
unambiguously, and "affected plant growth" can be identified
unambiguously.

The other questions involve words or phrases with ambiguous definitions,
that can mean different things to different people, and would be hard to
agree on, like  "</span><span>best advice",  "sound quality",  and  "happiness in life".</span>
