Answer:0.25 times

Explanation:

Given

Distance of satellite from earth surface=Radius of earth

Force on the satellite is F=mg'

where g'=acceleration due to gravity at that point

Distance from center of Earth=R+R=2R

Gravitational Force is given by

F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{r^2}

Force F=mg'=\frac{GMm}{4R^2}-----1

Force on earth surface F=mg=\frac{GMm}{R^2}------2

Divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{g'}{g}=\frac{R^2}{4R^2}

g'=\frac{g}{4}

HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

Since binary is only 1 and 0, you can use a flashlight to display something similar to Morse code (see explanation below)

Explanation:

In binary, 1 means "on" and 0 means "off". A way you can use visible light is through turning on and off a flashlight. If the flashlight is turned on, it would represent a 1. If the flashlight is turned off, it would represent a 0. To make the message easier and more accurately understood for the receiver make sure to flash the lights in a consistent pattern (ex. each flash lasts no longer than half a second, one second between each digit, etc.)

For example, let's say you're trying to send the message "11001"

  on     on    off     off     on

0       1       2       3       4       5      <em>Numbers represent seconds</em>

As you can see above the message starts at 0 seconds. Between 0 and 1 seconds the flashlight is turned on once. Between 1 and 2 seconds the flashlight is turned on again, Between 2 and 3 seconds as well as 3 and 4 seconds the flashlight is not turned on at all. And finally between 4 and 5 seconds the flashlight is turned on.
