Answer:

gexp = 3.65 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of acceleration due to gravity changes with the altitude. The following formula gives the value of acceleration due to gravity at some altitude from the sea level:

gexp = g(1 - 2h/Re)

where,

gexp = expected value of g at altitude = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.8 m/s²

h = altitude = 2000 km = 2 x 10⁶ m

Re = Radius of Earth = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

gexp = (9.8 m/s²)(1 - 2*2 x 10⁶ m/6.37 x 10⁶ m)

<u>gexp = 3.65 m/s²</u>

A tennis ball with a mass of 0.1kg falls off the roof of a building 10.4 meters tall. How long does it take for the ball to hit
Mars2501 [29]

The key formula ==>            H = 1/2 G T²

                                         10.4 = 1/2 (9.8) T²

Divide each side by  4.9 :  T² = 10.4 / 4.9

                                           T = √ (10.4/4.9) = 1.46 seconds .

The mass of the ball doesn't make any difference.  If not for air resistance,
a feather and a school bus, dropped from the same height at the same time,
would fall together, and hit the ground at the same time.  We've known this
for roughly 600 years now, and I suspect you learned it in the same high
school class where your question came from.

Which elements do hydrogen fuel cells combine to produce electricity? hydrogen and oxygen hydrogen and carbon hydrogen, oxygen,
Ad libitum [116K]
I think the correct answer would be the first option. The elements that hydrogen fuel cells need to produce electricity are oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen is broken into protons and electrons with the aid of a catalyst which them reacts with oxygen producing water, heat and electricity.
