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

Physics
1 answer:
NemiM [27]2 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.

A body falls from the top of the tower and during the last second of its fall it fall through 23mvfind height of tower.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

39.7 m

Explanation:

First, we conside only the last second of fall of the body. We can apply the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 23 m is the displacement of the body

t = 1 s is the time interval considered

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

u is the velocity of the body at the beginning of that second

Solving for u, we find:

ut=s-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\u=\frac{s}{t}-\frac{1}{2}at=\frac{23}{1}-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1)=18.1 m/s

Now we can call this velocity that we found v,

v = 18 m/s

And we can now consider the first part of the fall, where we can apply the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2 = 2as'

where

v = 18 m/s

u = 0 (the body falls from rest)

s' is the displacement of the body before the last second

Solving for s',

s'=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{18.1^2-0}{2(9.8)}=16.7 m

Therefore, the total heigth of the building is the sum of s and s':

h = s + s' = 23 m + 16.7 m = 39.7 m

How can citizen -scientists help with the prediction of future earthquakes
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Avoid downed power lines and stay away from buildings and bridges from which heavy objects might fall during an aftershock. Stay away until local officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami is a series of waves that may continue for hours. Do not assume that after one wave the danger is over.

Maggie completed a 10000-m race at an average speed of 160
Gala2k [10]

Answer: 200m/min

Explanation:

Divide 10000m by 160m/min, you will get the answer 62.5. You then subtract 12.5 from 62.5 to understand what you will need your answer for the other person’s speed will be. 10000m divided by 50min is 200m/min.

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph
Bumek [7]
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)
