Answer:

$-6.25\cdot 10^7 J$

Explanation:

The gravitational potential at a point on the Earth surface is given by:

$U=-\frac{GM}{R^2}$

where

G=6.67×10^-11Nm^2kg^-2 is the gravitational constant

M=5.98×10^24kg is the Earth's mass

R=6.38×10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$U=-\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})}{(6.38\cdot 10^6)}=-6.25\cdot 10^7 J$

Consider a wave along the length of a stretched slinky toy, where the distance between coils increases and decreases. What type

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.

g In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constr

Lorico [155]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to acceleration due to gravity, as well as Newton's second law that describes the weight based on its mass and the acceleration of the celestial body on which it depends.

In other words the acceleration can be described as

$a = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

Where

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius of Earth

This equation can be differentiated with respect to the radius of change, that is

$\frac{da}{dr} = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}$

$da = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr$

At the same time since Newton's second law we know that:

$F_w = ma$

Where,

m = mass

a =Acceleration

From the previous value given for acceleration we have to

$F_W = m (\frac{GM}{r^2} ) = 600N$

Finally to find the change in weight it is necessary to differentiate the Force with respect to the acceleration, then:

$dF_W = mda$

$dF_W = m(-2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr)$

$dF_W = -2(m\frac{GM}{r^2})(\frac{dr}{r})$

$dF_W = -2F_W(\frac{dr}{r})$

But we know that the total weight (F_W) is equivalent to 600N, and that the change during each mile in kilometers is 1.6km or 1600m therefore:

$dF_W = -2(600)(\frac{1.6*10^3}{6.37*10^6})$

$dF_W = -0.3N$

Therefore there is a weight loss of 0.3N every kilometer.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more
