The answer that best fits the blank is the word SATELLITES. It is the satellites that are used to determine the measurement of the ocean-surface height differences. This is used in Ocean Surface Topography wherein the sea surface is affected by both ocean circulation and gravity.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.

Dos cargas Q1=2pc y Q2=4pc estan separadas por una distancia de 6cm ¿con que fuerza se atraen?
noname [10]

Here we can use coulomb's law to find the force between two charges

As per coulombs law

]tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

here we have

k = 9 * 10^9

q_1 = 2pC

q_2 = 4pC

r = 6cm = 0.06 m

now by using the above equation we have

F = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-12} * 4*10^{-12}}{0.06^2}

F = 2 * 10^{-11} N

so here the force between two charges is of above magnitude and this will be repulsive force between them as both charges are of same sign.

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km.A)If you and your spacesuit ha
WITCHER [35]

A) 0.189 N

The weight of the person on the asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on the person, at a location on the surface of the asteroid:

F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

8.7×10^13 kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 130 kg is the mass of the man

R = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the radius of the asteroid

Substituting into the equation, we find

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(130 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}0.189 N=

B) 2.41 m/s

In order to orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (r=R), the centripetal force that keeps the astronaut in orbit must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the astronaut:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{mv^2}{R}

where

v is the speed of the astronaut

Solving the formula for v, we find the minimum speed at which the astronaut should launch himself and then orbit the asteroid just above the surface:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=2.41 m/s

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:  Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.
