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,

                               <em> gₓ = GM/(R+x)²</em>

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

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

v = f\lambda

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz

Therefore,

v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\

<u>v = 1.2 m/s</u>
