Answer:

0.31%

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity at sea level is:

g = GM / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth, and R is the radius of the Earth.

The acceleration due to gravity a height h above sea level is:

g' = GM / (R+h)²

The percent variation is:

(g − g') / g

= 1 − g'/g

= 1 − [GM / (R+h)²] / [GM / R²]

= 1 − R² / (R+h)²

= 1 − (R / (R+h))²

The average radius of the Earth is 6370 km.  The height of the balloon is 10 km.

1 − (6370 / (6370 + 10))²

If the back of the truck is 1.3 m above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 22 ∘ , how much time do the workers have to get t
solong [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that
(a) The piano rolls down on frictionless wheels,
(b) Wind resistance is negligible.

The distance along the ramp is
d = (1.3 m)/sin(22°) = 3.4703 m

The component of the piano's weight along the ramp is
mg sin(22°)
If the acceleration down the ramp is a, then
ma = mg sin(22°)
a = g sin(22°) = (9.8 m/s²) sin(22°) = 3.671 m/s²

The time, t, to travel down the ramp from rest is given by
(3.4703 m) = 0.5*(3.671 m/s²)*(t s)²
t² = 3.4703/1.8355 = 1.8907
t = 1.375 s

Answer: 1.375 s

Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are fixed at points with coordinates <0, 4.00 cm> and <0, -4.00 cm
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of the system of charges

=  9 x 10⁹ x [  q₁q₂ / r₁₂ +  q₂q₃ / r₂₃ +  q₁q₃ / r₁₃ ]

here  r₁₂ ,  r₂₃ , r₁₃ are distance between 1 st and 2 nd charge , 2 nd and 3 rd charge and fist and third charge.

r₁₂ = 8 cm , r₂₃ = 4 cm , r₁₃ = 4 cm.

q₁ = 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₂ = - 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₃ = 10 x 10⁻⁹ C

Potential energy  =  9 x 10⁹ x [ - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08  +  -200x10⁻¹⁸ / .04 +  200 x 10¹⁸ / .04 ]

= 9 x 10⁹  x  - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08

= 45 x 10⁻⁶ J .

b)

Potential at the point of fourth charge due to three charges of 20 nC , - 20 nC and 10 nC at the centre

9 x 10⁹ [ 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + - 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03

= 3000 V .

potential energy of fourth particle = charge x potential

= 3000 x 40 x 10⁻⁹ = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J .

kinetic energy at infinity = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

1/2 m v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

.5 x 2 x 10⁻¹³ x v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵

v² = 12 x 10⁸

v = 3.46 x 10⁴ m/s

= 9 x 10⁹
