Assume a planet is a uniform sphere of radius R that (somehow) has a narrow radial tunnel through its center. Also assume we can

position an apple anywhere along the tunnel or outside the sphere. Let FR be the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple when it is located at the planet's surface.
a. How far from the surface is there a point where the magnitude is 1/2FR if we move the apple away from the planet?
b. How far from the surface is there a point where the magnitude is 1/2FR if we move the apple into the tunnel?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Force at the surface = FR

Value of g at height h = g( 1 - 2 h / R )

force at height h = F_R ( 1 - 2 h / R)

F_R / 2 = F_R ( 1 - 2 h / R)

=  F_R   - 2  F_R xh / R

F_R / 2 = 2  F_R x h / R

1 / 2 = 2h / R

4h = R

h = R / 4 . Ans

b )

Value of g at depth  d = g( 1 -  d / R )

force at depth d  = F_R ( 1 - d / R)

F_R / 2 = F_R ( 1 - d / R)

=  F_R   -   F_R xd / R

F_R / 2 =   F_R x d / R

1 / 2 = d / R

2d  = R

d = R / 2

Answer:

the angle of incident is 40°

Explanation:

NQ is the normal to the mirror, therefore

angle NQA =90°

PQA = 50°

incident angle = NQA - PQA

90°- 50° = 40°

note that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incident

Work and Power Practice Calculations
Elza [17]

Answer:

1. W = F d = 20 N * 6 m = 120 J

2. F = W / d = 60 J / 2 m = 30 N

3. d = W / F = 350 J / 85 N = 4.12 m

4. P = W / t = F d / t = 45 N * 9 m / 10 s = 40.5 Watts

5. W = P t = 500 W * 120 sec = 60,000 J

6. t = W / P = 550 J / 310 W = 1.77 sec

Pete is driving down 7th Street. He drives 300 meters in 18 seconds. Assuming he does not speed up or slow down, what is his spe
Korolek [52]

Answer:

16.67m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance Pete drove  = 300m

Time taken  = 18s

Unknown:

Speed  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

   Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Speed  = \frac{300}{18}  = 16.67m/s

DESCRIBE floods and droughts. What are their effects? EXPLAIN how they can be prevented
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<u>EFFECTS: ( doughts)</u>

  1. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
  2. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.

<u>EFFECTS:( FLOODS)</u>

  1. The immediate impacts of flooding include loss of human life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions owing to waterborne diseases.
  2. power plants, roads and bridges are damaged and disrupted, some economic activities may come to a standstill, people are forced to leave their homes and normal life is disrupted.

How to prevent from flooding is :

  1. Construct buildings above flood levels.
  2. Tackle climate change

How to prevent from droughts :

  1. drought trends that may occur based on statistical and actual weather forecasts.
  2. In the U.S., the U.S. Drought Monitor provides a day-by-day visual of the drought conditions around the country.

* Hopefully this helps:) Mark me the brainliest:)!!!
