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

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

Hydrogen has only one electron in its only (and outer) electron shell. If a hydrogen atom were to absorb a small amount of energ
Xelga [282]

Answer:

D. move up to another shell that would form

Explanation:

An atom has protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells. An electron can jump to higher shell when it gains energy and lower one when it loses energy. Thus, when single electron in hydrogen atom is given a small amount of energy, it would jump to another higher shell.

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is
Kazeer [188]
The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
F=qE
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C
