Answer:
g = 0.85 m
Explanation:
g =
were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x N
), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x
kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.
h = 3.40 x R
= 3.40 x 6371 km
h = 21661.4 km
= 21661400 m
Thus,
g =
=
= 0.84944
g = 0.85 m
The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 m.
Answer: 31.6ft
Explanation:
Check the attachment for the diagram.
According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|
that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft
According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2
10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2
100 + 900 = |AC|^2
|AC| = √1000
|AC| = 31.6ft
Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
