The acceleration due to gravity falls off as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth. Thus the distance of interest is
  1/(d/R)^2 = 0.785/9.8
  d = R·√(9.8/0.785) ≈ R·3.53328
or R·2.53328 above the surface of the earth.

Wikipedia says the radius of the earth is 6371 km, so your distance is
  (6371 km)·2.53328 ≈ 16,140 km

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

1.) h = 164.8 m

2.) U = 49.1 m/s

3.) t = 1.43 seconds

Explanation:

1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...? 

Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Substitutes the time into the formula

h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2

h = 164.8 m

2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?

At maximum height final velocity = 0

Using the third law of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123

U^2 = 2410.8

U = 49.1 m/s

3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?

Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using the second equation of motion,

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

10 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 10/4.9

t^2 = 2.04

t = 1.43 seconds

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>

Electrolytes are considered ________ when placed in a solution and allow for adequate conduction of ________ charges.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Electrolytes are considered ions when placed in a solution and allow for adequate conduction of particle charges.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are substances that, when are dissolved in solution, separates into electrical positive charges (cations) and electrical negative charges (anions) which are known as ions.

These ions have an adequate capacity to conduct particle charges and, therefore electricity.

Sodium, calcium, phosphate and potassium, are examples of electrolytes.  

<u>Hence, the correct answer is:</u>

Electrolytes are considered ions when placed in a solution and allow for adequate conduction of particle charges.

I hope it helps you!
