Answer:
The acceleration at the astronaut's head decreases.
Explanation:
Since the centripetal acceleration equals acceleration due to gravity,
a = g = GM/R². since a changes infinitesimally from his foot to his head, we differentiate a with respect to r to get da/dr = -2GM/R³.
So, da, the change in acceleration = -2GMdR/R³ = -2gdR/R = -2 × 9.8/6.4 × 10⁶ m = -3.0625 × 10⁻⁶dR m/s².
Since dR = height of astronaut = 1.80 m, da = -3.0625 × 10⁻⁶ × 1.8 = -5.5125 × 10⁻⁶ m/s².
So the acceleration at the astronaut's head is g + da = 9.8 - 0.0000055125 = 9.7999944875 m/s².
So the acceleration at the astronaut's head decreases.

2.392 hector liters is equal to 239.2 liters
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is controlled by the ozone but if it infiltrates into the atmosphere it becomes a hazard. The uv reaches our eyes and darkens the retina and blurs vision. The fovea becomes insensitive and the cells dormant. This causes gradual blindness.
Answer:
a) v = 1524.7 m/s
b) T = 8.47*10^-4 s
λ = 1.29 m
Explanation:
a) First, in order to calculate the speed of the sound wave, you take into account that the velocity is constant, then, you use the following formula:
d: distance traveled by the sound wave, which is twice the distance to the ocean bottom = 2*324 m = 648 m
t: time that sound wave takes to return to the sub = 0.425
hence, the speed of the sound wave is 1524.7 m/s
b) Next, with the value of the velocity of the wave you can calculate the wavelength of the wave, by using the following formula:
f: frequency = 1.18*10^3 Hz
And the period is:
hence, the wavelength and period of the sound wave is, respectively, 1.29m and 8.47*10^-4 s
