Answer:

3.6×10⁶ m

Explanation:

g = GM / R²

4 m/s² = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (6×10²⁴ kg) / (6.4×10⁶ m + h)²

(6.4×10⁶ m + h)² = 1.00×10¹⁴ m²

6.4×10⁶ m + h = 1.00×10⁷ m

h = 3.6×10⁶ m

If a car travels 30 mi. north for 30 min., 60 mi. east for 1.0 hour, and 30 mi. south for 30 min., what is the average speed
Ainat [17]

Answer: 60mph

Explanation:

Given the following :

First leg travel:

Distance = 30 miles

Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Second leg travel:

Distance = 60 miles

Time of travel = one hour

Average speed :

Speed = total Distance / time of travel

Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles

Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours

Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time

Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 60 miles / hour

= 60mph

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

Why do plants produce their own food
Serhud [2]

Because way back, when there were some kinds of plants that made
their own food, and other kinds of plants that depended on dinosaurs or
people to bring them food, guess which ones starved and became extinct,
and which ones lived and are still among us today.

The planet in our solar system whose orbit actually brings it inside the orbit of another planet is
Ber [7]

Answer:

Pluto

Explanation:

In our solar system, we have several planet. Pluto is one of the. Pluto is a planet that is highly oval shaped orbit and eccentric that brings it inside the another orbit. It get inside the orbit of Neptune. Sometimes even Neptune get far away from sun in comparison to the dwarf planet Pluto.

It is very strange happening in the world of planet. it occurs in the year of 1979 and 1999. But Pluto never ever crashed into Neptune. It happen because Neptune takes every three lapse that takes around the sun but Pluto makes only two lapse. This happening prevents two bodies from clashes.

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?
Schach [20]
<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>
