The correct answer would be A.The acceleration of gravity is <span>9.81 m/s^2. This is calculated by using the equation:

a = GM/r</span>²

where G is the gravitational constant 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2, M is the mass of the planet (<span>5.9736E+24 kg) and r is the radius of the planet.

Answer:

C) 9.75m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration of gravity is calculated with the following formula:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

Where G It is the universal gravitational constant

G=6.674x10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

and M is the mass of the earth:

M=5.972x10^{24} kg

r is the distance from the center of earth wich will be in this case the earth's radius plus the altitude of the airplane:

r=6.37x10^{6} m + 20000m=6.39x10^{6}m

thus, the acceleration g is:

g=\frac{(6.674x10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.972x10^{24} kg)}{(6.39x10^{6}m)^2} =9.75m/s^2

n outer space, a constant net force with a magnitude of 140 N is exerted on a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. A) What accelerat
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) 4.31 m/s²

b) 215.5 m

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's first law of motion

The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to

F = ma

F = 140 N

m = 32.5 kg

a = ?

140 = 32.5 × a

a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²

b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s

u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 4.31 m/s²

t = 10 s

s = distance travelled = ?

s = ut + at²/2

s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m

stich3 [128]
The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.

What type of animals does Dr. Grant study?
Rasek [7]
Dr. Alan Grant is the main protagonist in Jurassic Park, with the book written primarily from his perspective. He is a paleontology professor at the University of Denver and receives research funding from the Hammond Foundation. He became a world-renowned paleontologist after discovering dinosaur nest fossils in Montana. Billionaire John Hammond chooses Dr. Grant to evaluate his dinosaur amusement park because of his professional expertise and unbiased opinion on dinosaurs.

Idk if this is related to what you ask but it might help.
