The radius of the earth is 6380 km and the height of mt.everest is 8848 m. if the value of of acceleration due to gravity on the
Bas_tet [7]

a) 9.80 m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity at a certain location on Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

R is the Earth's radius

h is the altitude above the Earth's surface

At the top of Mt. Everest,

R = 6380 km = 6.38\cdot 10^6 m

h' = 8848 m

g'=9.77 m/s^2

With

g'=\frac{GM}{(R+h')^2} (1)

At the Earth's surface,

R = 6380 km = 6.38\cdot 10^6 m

h = 0

g = ?

So

g=\frac{GM}{R^2} (2)

By doing the ratio (2)/(1), we find an expression for g in terms of g':

\frac{g}{g'}=\frac{\frac{GM}{R^2}}{\frac{GM}{(R+h')^2}}=\frac{(R+h')^2}{R^2}=\frac{(6.38\cdot 10^6+8848)^2}{(6.38\cdot 10^6)^2}=1.003

And therefore,

g=1.009g'=1.009(9.77)=9.80 m/s^2

b) 519.3 N

The weight of an object near the Earth's surface is given by

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity at the object's location

In this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass of the object

g' = 9.77 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on top of Mt Everest

Susbtituting,

W=(50)(9.77)=519.3 N

What is the mass of a baseball clocked moving at a speed of 105 mph or 46.9 m/s and wavelength 9.74 × 10-35m?
Andrew [12]
For this problem to be solved, we make use of the de Broglie formula which is written below as follows:

λ = h/mv
where h is 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s

9.74 × 10⁻³⁵ m = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s/ (m)(46.9 m/s)
Solving for m,
<em>m = 0.145kg</em>

What are the seasonal changes in the weasel in florida and the weasel in wyoming
AlekseyPX
Winter weasels, also called ermines or short-tailed weasels, have coats that turn from light brown to white in the winter. The color change begins at their stomachs and works its way outward, occurring in both spring and fall. Other species, like the long-tailed weasel, may turn at least partially white as well.

The length of daylight, not temperature, prompts the color change. As a result, weasels in winter may be stark white against a brown landscape before snow starts to fall. During warmer winters, this makes them easy prey for larger predators such as foxes, martens, and badgers.
