Answer:

The height of the Everest mountain is, x = 8514.087 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The gravitational field strength at the top of mount Everest, gₓ = 9.772 m/s²

The formula for gravitational field strength is,

Where, x is the height from the surface of the Earth

Therefore,

(R+x)² = GM/gₓ

x = √(GM/gₓ) - R

Substituting the values,

x = √(6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ X 5.972 x 10²⁴ / 9.772) - 6.378 x 10⁶

x = 8514.087 m

Therefore, the height of the Everest mountain is, x = 8514.087 m

Tyson Gay's best time to run 100.0 meters was 9.69 seconds. What was his average speed during this run, in miles per hour? (3.28

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

23.086 mile/h

Explanation:

Given,

Distance Tyson Gay run = 100 m

time of run, t = 9.69 s

average speed of the in mph = ?

Speed of the Gay = $\dfrac{distance}{time}$

$v = \dfrac{100}{9.69}$

v = 10.32 m/s

1 m = 3.281 ft

10.32 m = 33.86 ft

1 mile = 5280 ft

1 ft = 1.8939 x 10⁻⁴ mile

33.86 ft/s = 6.413 x 10⁻³ miles/s

Speed of Tyson in mile/hr = 6.413 x 10⁻³ x 3600

= 23.086 mile/h

Hence, speed of Tyson Gay's in mile/ hr is equal to 23.086 mph.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm$

If r is $-\frac{a}{2}$

and $dm=\frac{M}{a} dr$

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a} } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}$

$I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\ I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

A 1.15 kg book is at rest on the table. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the table is exerting on the book?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

11.27N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book = 1.15kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of the normal force = ?

Solution:

The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.

It can be described as the weight of an object.

Normal force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Normal force = 1.15 x 9.8 = 11.27N
