Why does the value of g vary from place to place?

Physics
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The variation in apparent gravitational acceleration (g) at different locations on Earth is caused by two things (as you implied). ... The distance between the centers of mass of two objects affects the gravitational force between them, so the force of gravity on an object is smaller at the equator compared to the poles.

Explain how energy balance sets planetary temperature? Imagine a planet colder than expected for energy balance and explain why
RUDIKE [14]

The planetary temperature energy balance is obtained by radiating back the absorbed radiation energy from outer-space, by the planet and thus acquiring thermal equilibrium.

What is the process of attaining thermal equilibrium by Earth?

The Stefan-Boltzmann law states that the more the temperature a planet has, the more it will radiate out to reach thermal equilibrium.

We know that outer space contains large masses of radiative energy freely distributed in its vast expanse. A small fraction of this energy is absorbed by the Earth through the atmosphere, surface land, clouds etc.

Now, radiative balance is achieved when a planet's surface continuously warms up until it reaches its peak at which point the same amount of absorbed energy can then be radiated back to space. The relative amount of energy radiated back by a planet is dependent upon the size of the planet.

A colder planet relatively absorbs lower amount of radiation energy from space. In some time, as the planet heats up enough, the energy is radiated back to the space attaining thermal equilibrium.

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas
blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
