How far (in meters) above the earth's surface will the acceleration of gravity be 21.0 % of what it is on the surface?

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

Through which of the following can sound energy NOT be transferred?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Vacuum

Explanation:

Sound energy as mechanical wave cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.

As a wave, which is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another, it requires a material medium for propagation.

  • Sound energy is a mechanical wave.
  • It requires particles and a medium to be propagated.
  • By so doing, this form of energy cannot be transmitted through a vacuum body.
  • In such bodies, there is no medium of propagation.

While visiting the planet Mars, Moe leaps straight up off the surface of the Martian ground with an initial velocity of 105 m/s
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

L = 0 m

Therefore, the cricket was 0m off the ground when it became Moe’s lunch.

Explanation:

Let L represent Moe's height during the leap.

Moe's velocity v at any point in time during the leap is;

v = dL/dt = u - gt .......1

Where;

u = it's initial speed

g = acceleration due to gravity on Mars

t = time

The determine how far the cricket was off the ground when it became Moe’s lunch.

We need to integrate equation 1 with respect to t

L = ∫dL/dt = ∫( u - gt)

L = ut - 0.5gt^2 + L₀

Where;

L₀ = Moe's initial height = 0

u = 105m/s

t = 56 s

g = 3.75 m/s^2

Substituting the values, we have;

L = (105×56) -(0.5×3.75×56^2) + 0

L = 0 m

Therefore, the cricket was 0m off the ground when it became Moe’s lunch.
