In​ physics, it is established that the acceleration due to​ gravity, g (in meters divided by sec squared) in meters/sec²​, at a

height h meters above sea level is given by the formula below. ​g(h) = \frac{3.99 x 10^{14}}{(6.374 x 10^6 + h)^2} where 6.374 x 10⁶⁶ is the radius of Earth in meters.
A certain building is 458 meters tall. What is the acceleration due to gravity at the top at the top of the building​? ​g(h) = _______ m/sec².

Answer:

g(h)=9.81943\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The given function is

g(h)=\dfrac{3.99\times 10^{14}}{(6.374\times 10^6+h)^2}

Now h = the height from the surface of the Earth

Here the building is 458 m tall

g(458)=\dfrac{3.99\times 10^{14}}{(6.374\times 10^6+458)^2}

\Rightarrow g(458)=9.81943\ m/s^2

So,

g(h)=9.81943\ m/s^2

You repeated a measurement 6 times and recorded the time using a stop watch: 5.8s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 4.3s, 4.6s. What average va
iVinArrow [24]

Answer and Explanation

Arranging the measured values in increasing order;

4.3s, 4.6s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 5.8s

The two outliers are obviously 4.3s and 5.8s; An outlier is a value in a statistical sample which does not fit a pattern that describes most other data point. Outliers make the average value complicated. So, it is usually better for data to be precise with data points spreading out around a small area.

So, the mean is the average of the four remaining data points after removing the outliers.

Mean = (4.6 + 4.6 + 4.8 + 5.1)/4

Mean = 4.775s

So, the value recorded should be 4.775s, 4.78s or 4.8s depending on the number of decimal places allowed.

Why are the decomposers categorized as consumers? how do they differ from producers
QveST [7]
Hi! Decomposers (mainly soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate)<span /> are categorized as consumers due to the fact that they consume dead organic matter such as plants and animals. They differ from producers (green plants and some bacteria) because they do not produce their own food using photosynthesis or chemosythensis.
Hope this helped!

What do astronomers use in addition to parallax to find the actual distance of stars that are close to Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

trigonometry (guessing)

Explanation:

ellipse: is the shape of an orbit : looks like an oval

periapsis : shortest distance between something like the moon and the planet its orbiting around like the earth

parallax is triangulation. like how gps works. looking at a star one day and then looking at it again 6 months later, an astronomer can see a difference in the viewing angle for the star. With trigonometry, the different angles yield a distance. This technique works for stars within about 400 light years of earth

https://science.howstuffworks.com/question224.htm

By comparing the intrinsic brightness to the star's apparent brightness we can calculate the distance of stars

1/r^2 rule states that the apparent brightness of a light source is proportional to the square of its distance.Jan 11, 2022

https://www.space.com/30417-parallax.html

alternative distance measurement for stars used by most astronomers is the parsec. A star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond has a distance of 1 parsec, or 1 parsec per arcsecond of parallax, which is about 3.26 light years
