Answer:

6.37*10^6 m

Explanation:

We know that,

g = GM/R²

values given to us

acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Mass of the earth is= 6.4*10^24

G = 6.67*10^{-11}

implementing

9.8 = 6.67*10^-11 * 6*10^24/R^2

9.8 = 40.02 * 10^13/ R^2

R^2 = 4002/98 * 10^12

R^2 = 40.83* 10^12

R= 6.37*10^6 m   (approximately)

The rocket is fired vertically and tracked by the radar station shown. When θ reaches 66°, other corresponding measurements give
Flauer [41]

Answer:

velocity = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration = 80.13 ft/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius of rotation; r = 32,700 ft

Radial acceleration; a_r = r¨ = 85 ft/s²

Angular velocity; ω = θ˙˙ = 0.019 rad/s

Also, angle θ reaches 66°

So, velocity of the rocket for the given position will be;

v = rθ˙˙/cos θ

so, v = 32700 × 0.019/ cos 66

v = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration is given by the formula ;

a = a_r/sinθ

For the given position,

a_r = r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²

Thus,

a = (r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²)/sinθ

Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

a = (85 - 32700(0.019)²)/sin66

a = (85 - 11.8047)/0.9135

a = 80.13 ft/s²

Gases are more prone to expansion and contraction than liquid . The biggest change in the volume in your thermometer was probabl
KiRa [710]

Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position

- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other

- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible

For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.

In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.
