Answer:

7532m

Explanation:

Gravity on the surface of the earth with radius R is given by:

F_1=\frac{Gm_{earth}m_{object}}{R^2_{earth}}

Gravity a distance r above the surface:

F_2=\frac{Gm_{earth}m_{object}}{(R+r)^2}

How big is r if:

F_2=0.21\times F_1

You get the following equation:

R^2=0.21(R+r)^2=0.21R^2+0.41Rr+0.21r^2

Solve for r:

r^2+2Rr-\frac{79}{21} R^2=0

r=-R+\sqrt{R^2+\frac{79}{21}R^2}=-R+\sqrt{\frac{100}{21}R^2}=(\frac{10}{\sqrt{21}}-1)R

List the three main things necessary to build an electromagnet.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Electromagnets are special types of magnets that are made by passing current through coils of wire. To make an electromagnet, the minimum requirements are:

1. A nail (usually made of iron, steel or zinc)

2. Dry cell batteries

3. Wire (Usually copper wire)

Other things could be:

1. Electric tape to hold both ends of the wire properly at the battery terminals.

2. Scissors to cut the wire into desired length.

3. Iron fillings for testing purposes.
