Why does Gravity have a lesser than grater effect on higher altitudes?

Physics
1 answer:
IrinaVladis [17]4 years ago
4 0

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between their centers.  

At higher altitude, the center of the Earth is farther from the center of YOU, so the strength of the gravitational force between those two objects is less.

If a truck weighs 18,000 N and it’s tires are inflated to a pressure of 190 kPa how large is the area of the trucks tires that a
Mamont248 [21]

0.095m²

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Weight of truck = 18000N

Pressure = 190kPa or 190000Pa

Unknown:

Area of truck tires = ?

Solution:

Pressure is given as the force per unit area of a substance:

            Pressure = \frac{force }{Area}

  Since Area is the unknown, we make it the subject of the expression;

            Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

                     =\frac{18000}{190000}

                     =  0.095m²

If the period of a wave is 15 seconds, how many wavelengths pass a certain point in 2 minutes?
denpristay [2]
Hello
The period of a wave is the time it takes between two complete oscillations of the wave itself, i.e. it is the time that occurs between two consecutive wavelengths. Therefore, if we want to calculate how many wavelengths pass a certain point in t=2~min=120~s, we need to divide the total time for the period of the wave, T:
N= \frac{t}{T}= \frac{120~s}{15~s}=8
So, the answer is 8 wavelengths.

The work done to compress a spring with a force constant of 290.0 N/m a total of 12.3 mm is: a) 3.57 J b) 1.78 J c) 0.0219 J d)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Work done, W = 0.0219 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m

We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 290\times (0.0123)^2

W = 0.0219 J

So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
