The acceleration due to gravity is g/4

The acceleration above the earth surface is given by the relation

g^'=gr^2/〖(h+r)〗^2

Since the satellite orbits the earth in a orbit of radius equal to earth radius, therefore

g^'=(gr^2)/〖(r+r)〗^2 =g/4

Thus the acceleration due to gravity on the satellite is g/4.

A 7.0kg object rests on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the magnitude of the horizontal
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

16.1 N

Explanation:

From the question,

F = ma.............................. Equation 1

Where F = horizontal force, m = mass of the object, a = acceleration .

Given: m = 7.0 kg, a = 2.3 m/s²

Substitute this values into equation 1

F = (7.0×2.3)

F = 16.1 N.

Hence the magnitude of the horizontal force is 16.1 N

The interference pattern seen when light passes through narrow, closely spaced slits, is due to
Lelu [443]
<h2>Answer: Diffraction</h2><h2 />

Diffraction  is a characteristic phenomenon that occurs in all types of waves .

In this sense,  <u>diffraction</u> happens when a wave (the light in this case) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the light bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming <u><em>multiple patterns</em></u> with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if
Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.
