Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

 g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

 g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}

        g = 8.61 m/s²

If you blow across the open end of a soda bottle and produce a tone of 250 Hz, what will be the frequency of the next harmonic h
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Generally, the lowest overtone for a pipe open at one end and closed would be at  y / 4  where y represents lambda, the wavelength.

Since F (frequency) = c / y       Speed/wavelength

F2 / F1 = y1 / y2      because c is the same in both cases

F2 = y1/y2 * F1

F2 = 3 F1 = 750 /sec

Note that L = y1 / 4 = 3 y2 / 4 for these wavelengths to fit in the pipe

and y1 = 3 y2

On the modern periodic table, elements are ordered according to what?
sweet [91]

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.

Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, wh
mel-nik [20]

Answer:u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

Explanation:

Given

Both cars mass is m

and solving problem in Vertical and horizontal direction

considering + y and +x to be positive and u be the final velocity of system

Conserving Momentum in Vertical direction

m(2v)+m(-vsin\phi )=2m(ucos\theta )

2ucos\theta =v(2-sin\theta )------1

Conserving momentum in x direction

mvcos\phi =2musin\theta-----2

squaring and adding 1 &2

(2u)^2=(2v-vsin\phi )^2+(vcos\phi )^2

4u^2=4v^2+v^2-4v^2sin\phi

4u^2=5v^2-4v^2sin\phi

u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }
