·The acceleration of gravity is proportional to
1 / (the square of the distance from the center) .
When we're on the surface, we're 1 radius from the center of the Earth,
and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
The boy's weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)
= 490 newtons .
At the distance of 5 radii from the center (4 radii altitude from the surface),
the acceleration of gravity is
(9.8 m/s²) · (1/5)² = 0.39 m/s² .
The boy's weight is (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (0.39 m/s²)
= 19.6 newtons .
Just as we expected, his weight at that distance is
(19.6 / 490) = 0.04 = 1/25 = 1/5² of his weight on the surface.
Answer:
The objects become oppositely charged and have equal amounts of charge.
Explanation:
There are three methods for charging objects:
- Conduction: a charged object is brought in contact with a neutral object. Electrons are transferred from the charged object to the neutral one, which also becomes charged
- Induction: a charged object is brought close (but not in contact) to a neutral object. The charges inside the neutral object redistribute, such that those of opposite sign to the charge in the charged object migrate on the side closer to the charged object, while the charges of same sign migrate towards the opposite side. If the neutral object is then grounded, the charges on the opposite side flow to the ground, leaving the neutral object charged as well
- Friction: two objects initially neutral are rubbed against each other. Electrons move from one object to the other one: therefore, one object becomes positively charged while the other one becomes negatively charged. Since the charge gained by one object is equal to charge lost by the other object, it follows that the two objects have same magnitude of charge, but with opposite sign.
Answer:
Explanation:
You could test effect of oxygen levels on growth of a regular houseplant. You could make the control to be plant grown under regular atmospheric Oxygen level. And for changing variables you could have one plant grow at low oxygen level compared to atmospheric oxygen and another plant to grow at higher levels of oxygen when compared to atmospheric oxygen.
One
d = 400 m
t = 20 s
speed = ?
speed = 400 / 20
speed = 20 meters/second
Two
d = 50 meters
t = 10 seconds
speed = 50 meters / 10 seconds
speed = 5 meters / second
