The one at the base would be much older due to the law of super position, and the rock at the top would be much newer,again, due to the law of super position.

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m

"My distance to the center of the earth is about 4000 miles when I am on the surface. If I go to a height of 8000 miles above th
lord [1]

Given,

Distance from the surface to the center of the earth, d=4000 miles

Distance from the center to you at a height of 8000 miles, a= 8000+4000=12000 miles

The gravitational force acting on a person at the surface is equal to his weight.

From Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the gravitational force is

F=\frac{G\times M\times m}{r^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the object/person, r is the distance between the center of the earth and the object/person

At the surface, this force is equal to the weight of the person, W=mg

i.e.

F_s=\frac{G\times M\times m}{d^2}=W

On substituting the of d,

W=\frac{\text{GMm}}{4000^2}

At a height of 8000 miles from the surface, the gravitational force is equal to,

F_a=\frac{GMm}{12000^2}

On dividing the above two equations,

\frac{F_a}{W}=\frac{4000^2^{}}{12000^2}=\frac{1}{9}

Therefore,

F_a=\frac{1}{9}W

Therefore at a height of 8000 miles above the surface of the earth, the force of gravity becomes 1/9 time your weight.

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A
saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B=0.6\times 10^{-4} T

\theta=75^{\circ}

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F=IBlsin\theta

Using the formula

F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75

F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N

Direction=tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}

\theta=15^{\circ}

15 degree above the horizontal  in the northward direction.
