What is the acceleration due to gravity at an altitude of 116?

1 answer:

7 0

Gravitational acceleration (Ga) is inversely proportional to k / Distance^2

so Ga * Distance^2 = K

On the surface of Earth acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8m/s^2 with an average distance to the earths core of about 6371 km (Wolfram alpha).

So k = 9.8 * 6371^2
I'm presuming that your distance of 116 is km

As
Ga = k / distance^2

Ga = ((9.8 * 6371^2) / (6371 + 116)^2 ) = 397778481.8 / 42081169

= 9.45 m/s^2 to 2sf

A solid conducting sphere with radius R that carries positive charge Q is concentric with a very thin insulating shell of radius

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The specific question is not stated, however the general idea is given in the attached picture. The electric field in each region can be found by Gauss’ Law.

at r < R:

Since the solid sphere is conducting, the total charge Q is distributed over the surface, and the electric field inside the sphere is zero.

E = 0.

at R < r < 2R:

The electric field can be found by Gauss’ Law as in the attachment. The green pencil shows this exact region.

at 2R < r:

The electric field can again be found by Gauss’ Law, the blue pencil shows the calculations for this region.

Explanation:

Gauss’ Law is straightforward when applied to spheres. The area of the sphere is $A = 4\pi r^2$ , and the enclosed charge is given in the question as Q for the inner sphere, and 2Q for the whole system.
