<span>1. Get a graduated cylinder. 2. Fill the graduated cylinder to a known amount of water. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. 3. Place rock into the graduated cylinder 4. Measure the new volume of the graduated cylinder with the rock in it. 5. Take the difference of the new volume and the old volume and that is the volume of the rock.</span>

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.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration

cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.
