Hypothetically speaking, if an object were located at the center of the Earth, the gravitational force on that object due to the

surrounding Earth, assuming matter is uniformly distributed, would have which of the following values?
a) The force would be approximately the same value as if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
b) The force would be much greater than the value if the object were on the surface of the Earth.
c) The force would be somewhat less than the value if the object was on the surface of the Earth, but it would be greater than zero newtons.
d) The force would be zero newtons.

Answer:

D. ) The force would be zero newtons

Explanation:

Because

If you are at the center of the earth, gravity is zero because all the mass around you is pulling "up" (every direction there is up!)

So F=mg so if g is zero F is also zero

Use. Weight = (mass)x(accel of gravity). It'll be somewhere around approx roughly about in the neighborhood of 9.706667m/sec^2 .

PLZ HELP!<br> Which is NOT an example of a longitudinal wave?
LenaWriter [7]

The 1st example is NOT a longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Waves are periodic disturbance of the space that travel carrying energy but not matter.

Depending on their vibration, waves are classified into two types:

  • Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the vibration of the wave occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves.
  • Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the vibration of the wave occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave (back  and forth), creating regions of higher particle density (compressions) and lower particle density (rarefactions). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

In  this problem we have four options given:

  1. The first picture represents a transverse wave, because the vibration of the robe is up and down, while the wave propagates on the left-right direction
  2. The second picture represents a sound wave, which is a longitudinal wave
  3. The 3rd picture represents a longitudinal wave, since the vibration of the slinky is back and forth along the direction of propagation
  4. The 4th picture also represents a sound wave, which is longitudinal

Therefore, the only wave which is not longitudinal is the one in the 1st picture.

Ship A is located 4.1 km north and 2.3 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 22 km/h toward the south and Ship B has a vel
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

Explanation:

Given data:

A position is 4km north and 2.5 km east to B

Ship A velocity = 22 km/hr

ship B velocity = 40 km/hr

A velocity wrt to velocity of B

\vec{V_{AB}} =\vec{V_A} - \vec{V_B}

\vec{V_A} = 22 km/hr

\vec{V_B} = 40 cos38\hat{i} + 40sin 38 \hat{j}

                 = 31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j}

putting respective value to get velocity of  A with respect to B

\vec{V_{AB}} = -22 \hat {j} - (31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j})

\vec{V_{AB}} = -31.52\hat{i} - 46.62\hat{j}

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

You can hide a row or a column by using the Hide command or by setting the row height or column width to ____________.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Suppose this is for Excel. You can hide a row or a column by right-clicking on that row/column header and select row height or column width. After that simply input in 0 and click OK. The row or column will be hidden in the end, just like using a Hide command.
