·The acceleration of gravity is proportional to

                       1 / (the square of the distance from the center) .

When we're on the surface, we're 1 radius from the center of the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is  9.8 m/s² .

The boy's weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

                                                             =      490 newtons .

At the distance of 5 radii from the center (4 radii altitude from the surface),
the acceleration of gravity is

                 (9.8 m/s²) · (1/5)²  =  0.39 m/s² .

The boy's weight is    (mass) · (gravity)  =  (50kg) · (0.39 m/s²)

                                                                  =     19.6 newtons .

Just as we expected, his weight at that distance is

         (19.6 / 490) = 0.04  =  1/25  =  1/5²  of his weight on the surface.

vampirchik [111]
Heat = change in internal energy + Work done The internal energy of a system = heat added and mechanical work done by the system, i.e. U = Q + W rearranging the formula above, will give us: Q = deltaU + W 
Q = U - W = 604 kJ - 43.0 kJ = 561,000 J would be the answer.

What will the magnitude of the field be if the 10 nc charge is replaced by a 20 nc charge? Assume the system is big enough to co
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Same magnitude of the 10 nc charge cause the electric field is external.

Explanation:

To do a better explanation, let's go and suppose we have an electric field of, 1300 N/C with a 10 nC charge.

As the system we are talking about is really big, and the charge is small, we can assume always if the charge is sitting right in the same point where the electric field is, then, the electric field would not suffer any kind of alteration in it's value. Therefore, no matter what value of the charge is sitting here, the electric field is independent of the charge, so it would not feel any alteration. However, the force that the charge is feeling would be stronger than in the first case.

F = qE

If charge is doubled, then the force would be bigger in the second case than in the first case, but electric field remain the same value.

A car tire rotates with an average angular speed of 32 rad/s. In what time interval will the tire rotate 3.5 times? Answer in un
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

\Delta t = 0.687\ s

Explanation:

given,

Angular speed of the tire = 32 rad/s

Displacement of the wheel = 3.5 rev

Δ θ = 3.5 x 2 π

        = 7 π rad

now,

Time interval of the car to rotate 7π rad

using equation

\omega_{avg} =\dfrac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}

\Delta t=\dfrac{7\pi}{32}

\Delta t = 0.687\ s

Time taken to rotate 3.5 times is equal to 0.687 s.

How much is the velocity of a body when it travels 600m in 5 minutes?( with the full process)​
Tcecarenko [31]
Its average speed, pretending that it traveled at a constant speed, is

v = s / t

= 600 m

5 x 60 s

= 2 m/s

but to be a velocity it needs a direction as well as a speed.

( Sorry. Can’t find a division line to put between the 600 m and the 5 x 60 s )
