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

Physics

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

250 W 12 km/h<br>4. Convert yoor answer from 3 to meters per second.​
taurus [48]

Answer: 3.33 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the questions is to convert  12 km/h to meter per second (m/s), let's begin:

In order to make the conversion, we have to know the following:

1 km=1000 m

And:

1 h=3600 s

Keeping this in mind, we can make the conversion:

12 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1h}{3600 s}

Then:

12 \frac{km}{h}= 3.33 \frac{m}{s}

An object floats in a beaker as shown. when it was put into the beaker, it displaced an amount of water into the graduated cylin
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

answer is  C. 10 g

Explanation:

: When an object floats, it displaces an amount of water that has the same mass as itself. Therefore, the mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object. We can see that there are 10 mL of water in the graduated cylinder. We also know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. Since each mL of water has a mass of 1 g, then 10 mL of water has a mass of 10 g. If the mass of the displaced water is 10 g, then the mass of the floating object is also 10 g.
