Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

From Kepler's law we have relation

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=35870474.30504\ m

Which term describes the number of joules used per second by a circuit?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

B) Power

Explanation:

The power is defined by the following equation:

P = W / t

where:

W = work = Force * Distance = [Newton] * [meter]

t = time = seconds

The units for work are give en Newton per second, which is equal to Joules

And for power the unit used commonly is Watts, therefore:

Watts = (Joule/second)
