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

Physics

Schach [20]3 years ago
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 man, a distance d=3~\text{m}d=3 m from a target, throws a ball at an angle \theta= 70^\circθ=70 ​∘ ​​ above the horizontal. If
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The ball doesn't strike the building because it strikes the ground at d=1.62 meters.

Explanation:

V= 5 m/s < 70º

Vx= 1.71 m/s

Vy= 4.69 m/s

h= Vy * t - g * t²/2

clearing t for the flying time of the ball:

t= 0.95 s

d= Vx * t

d= 1.62 m

How far can your little brother get if he can travel at 2.5 m/s and in 5?
KatRina [158]

d=? v=2.5 u=0 and t=5 therefore the formula to be used to find the distance my brother covered is d=1/2(v-u)t

d=1/2(2.5-0)5

=6.15m

Technician A says that the freezing point of a substance is the temperature at which the substance changes state from a solid to
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Technician B is correct

Explanation:

Freezing is a method of conversion of substance in its liquid state to solid state. It is the process by which a liquid substance changes to a solid at a particular temperature.

Increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature of a liquid increases its freezing point. For example, in other to freeze water i.e to change water to ice, it has to be kept in a fridge at a temperature lower than the temperature of the water. The essence of covering the fridge after placing the water in the fridge is to increase the pressure of the liquid hence increasing its freezing rate.

Based on the above explanation, it can be concluded that technician B is correct.

Two blocks a and b ($m_a&gt;m_b$) are pushed for a certain distance along a frictionless surface. how does the magnitude of the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the magnitude of the work done by the two blocks is the same.

Explanation:

The work done by block a on block b is given by:

W_a = F_a d

where Fa is the force exerted by block a on block b, and d is the distance they cover.

The work done by block b on block a is given by:

W_b = F_b d

where Fb is the force exerted by block b on block a, and d is still the distance they cover.

For Newton's third law, the force exerted by block a on block b is equal to the force exerted by block b on block a, therefore

F_a = F_b

and so

W_a=W_b
