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

Physics

Schach [20]4 years ago

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

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere
prohojiy [21]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere?

A. Stratosphere

B. Mesosphere

C. Thermosphere

D. Troposphere

The correct answer is A. Stratosphere

Explanation:

The ozone layer as indicated by its name is mainly composed of Ozone (O2), this layer is essential for life because it filters ultraviolet radiation and acts as a greenhouse effect gas by trapping part of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of the atmosphere and can be found between 20 km to 50 km from Earth's surface. Moreover, the existence of the ozone layer in the stratosphere makes the temperature increase with height due to the radiation of the sun filter by ozone.

A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera in the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.69
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The distance between the camera and the rock is 836.6 cm

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed where the hypotenuse (h) is the distance between the rock and the camera. One of the leg (l) is the distance between the camera and the surface. The angle between the hypotenuse and this leg is α = 90° - 13.69° = 76.31°. By definition:

cos α = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(76.31) = 198.0/h

h = 198.0/cos(76.31)

h = 836.6 cm
