The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N

Explanation:

The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation

F=mg (1)

where

m is the mass of the astronaut

g is the acceleration of gravity

The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance r from the centre of the Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, r=R (where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is

F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=640 N

Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is

r'=3R+R=4R

Therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{GMm}{(4R)^2}=\frac{1}{16}\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{F}{16}

Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{640}{16}=40 N

Suppose students experiment with the tube and a variety of darts. Some darts have higher masses than others but are the same aer
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The dart with the small mass will travel the farthest distance.

Explanation:

Acceleration is proportional to force times mass, and inertia is proportional to mass. Inertia is the reluctance of a moving body to stop, and a stationary body to start moving (inertia increses with mass). Assuming they both have the same aerodynamic design, and that they are both launched with the same force applied for the same time duration, the dart with less small mass will accelerate faster than the big mass dart. From this we can see that the small dart will have covered a longer distance before the effect of the force stops, when compared to the more massive dart.

You are on the south bank of the river in your canoe you need to reach the north bank you know that you can row your canoe at 2
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(θ) = 60°

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of canoe Vc = 2 m/s

Speed of River Vr = 1 m/s

Computation:

Vc (Cosθ) = Vr

2 (Cosθ) = 1

(Cosθ) =  1 / 2

(Cosθ) = (Cos60)

(θ) = 60°

what is the thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using (a) vernier cal
beks73 [17]

Option B The thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using a micrometer screw gauge.

<h3>What can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?</h3>

One micrometer of thickness can be measured with a micron micrometre screw gauge. A Use of Micrometer Screw Gauge as like example Upon turning the screw of the micrometer screw gauge four times, a 2 mm space is covered.

<h3>What purposes does a micrometer serve?</h3>

A tool known as a micrometer is used to measure solid objects’ lengths, thicknesses, and other dimensions precisely and linearly.

<h3>What is the micrometer screw gauge’s SI unit?</h3>

The SI symbol m is also known as a micron, which is an SI-derived unit of length equaling 1106 meters, where 106 is the SI standard prefix for the prefix “micro-.” A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter.

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.
