An object 1,000 km above earths surface would accelerate

Physics
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
5 0

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of the gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The formula is ‘the change in velocity= gravity x time’ The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.[1]

How many (whole number of) 87 kg people
choli [55]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

1. You are going to be rounding down.

2. change the metric ton to kg.

1.000 * 10^3 kg = 1000 kg

1000 / 87 = 11.49 = 11 people

A 400.0 kg storage box is held 10 m above ground by a forklift. What is its gravitational potential energy? (PE = mgh)
castortr0y [4]

Answer: D.) 39,200 J

Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height.  In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

P.E.=(400kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2} )(10m)=39,200 J

P.E.= 39,200 Joules

The critical angle for water is 49°. If a ray of light
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Snell's Law states

Ni sin i = Nr sin r

Judging from the question the source of the ray is in the water (directed up)

or NI = 1 / sin 49      Ni = 1.325 deg     the critical angle

From inside the pond:

Nr = 1.325 * sin 45 / 1 = 94 deg  

So refraction can occur  outside the pond and you do not have total internal refection.

A swimming pool, 10.0 m by 4.0 m, is filled with water to a depth of 3.0 m at a temperature of 20.2°c. if the energy needed to r
Tomtit [17]

You need to find the mass of water in the pool.
Find the volume (10 x 4 x 3) = 120 m3

Water has a density of 1000g/m3,so 120 m3 = 120 x 1000 = 120 000 kg

[delta]H = 4.187 x 120 000 x 3.4 (and the units will be kJ)

You then use the heat of combustion knowing that each mole of methane releases 891 kJ of heat so if you divide 891 into the previous answer, you will get the number of moles of CH4
