The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.
If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is
(6380 x √2) = 9,023 km (rounded) ,
and 'h' is the distance above the surface
= (9,023 - 6,380) = 2,643 km (rounded) .
Answer:
Restoring force of the spring is 50 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Spring constant of the spring, k = 100 N/m
Stretching in the spring, x = 0.5 m
We need to find the restoring force of the spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law as "the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched".
F = 50 N
So, the restoring force of the spring is 50 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
The closer to the equator, the hotter the climate will be.
Vi=0m/s
Vf=?
A=9.81
D=44
T=not needed
Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad
Vf=2ad square rooted
Vf=2(9.81)(44) square root it
Vf=29.3m/s
In order to calculate the amount of energy required, we must first check the latent heat of vaporization of water from literature. The latent heat of vaporization of any substance is the amount of energy required per unit mass to convert that substance from a solid to a liquid. For water this is 2,260 J/g. We now use the formula:
Energy = mass * latent heat
Q = 50 * 2,260
Q = 113,000 J
113,000 Joules of heat energy are required.
