Answer:

If gravity were stronger, houses and buildings would have to be more sturdy so they do not get crushed to the ground. If gravity were weaker, buildings and houses would have to be built stronger so they do not float away.

Hope this helps you!

If gravity where much weaker, then the houses wouldn’t need as much structural support, and then could be built as much more taller as they wouldn’t go through as much stress. and if gravity was stronger, buildings would need to be a lot more structurally sound and wouldn’tbe able to maintain a tall structure as the force of gravity would be too much for them

Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

Explanation:

The balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm³/s

It means the volume of the balloon is increased at a rate 10 cm³/s.

i.e $\frac{dv}{dt} =10 cm^3/s$

Consider r be the radius of the balloon.

The volume of of a sphere is

$v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow 10 =4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

The surface of area of the balloon is(S) = $4\pi r^2$

$S=4\pi r^2$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dS}{dt} =4\pi\times2r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Putting the value of $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\times\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =\frac{20}{ r}$

Given that r = 5 cm

$[\frac{dS}{dt}]_{r=5} =\frac{20}{ 5}$ =4 cm³/s

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

The speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. How long does it take for light to travel from Earth to the Moon and back again? Express your

bija089 [108]

Answer:

v = 3×10^8 m/s

s= 384,400 km= 3.84×10^8 m/s

t = ?

v = s/t = 2s/t

t = 2s/v

t = (2×3.84×10^8) ÷ 3×10^8

t = 2.56 seconds

Explanation:

Earth's moon is the brightest object in our

night sky and the closest celestial body. Its

presence and proximity play a huge role in

making life possible here on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull stabilizes Earth's wobble on its axis, leading to a stable climate.

The moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696

km) from Earth. On average, the distance fromEarth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). According to NASA , "That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the moon."

A sailboat runs before the wind with a constant speed of 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west. How far (a) west and (b) nort

vodka [1.7K]

<h2>Displacement along west = 3612 m</h2><h2>Displacement along north = 4633.50 m</h2>

Explanation:

Let east be positive x axis and north be positive y axis

Velocity of boat = 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west.

Velocity, v = -2.8 cos 52 i + 2.8 sin 52 j = -1.72 i + 2.21 j m/s

Time taken = 35 min = 35 x 60 = 2100 s

Displacement = Velocity x Time

Displacement = (-1.72 i + 2.21 j) x 2100

Displacement = -3612 i + 4633.50 j m

Displacement along west = 3612 m

Displacement along north = 4633.50 m
