What percentage of the acceleration at Earth's surface is the acceleration due to gravity at the position of a satellite located

489 km above Earth
Physics
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for variation in the value of g due to height h is given by the following relation .

g₁ = g₀ ( 1 - h / R )

g₁ and  g₀ are value of acceleration due to gravity at height h from surface and at surface and  R is radius of the earth .

R = 6370 km , h = 489 km ( given )

g₁ = g₀ ( 1 - 489 / 6370 )

= .923 g₀

g₁ in percent terms = .923 x 100

= 92.3 % .

An open pipe of length 0.39 m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400 Hz what is the distance from the center of
Svetach [21]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Number of harmonics = 3

Now there are 3 loops so here we can say

3\times \frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.39

\lambda = 0.26 m

now here at the center of the pipe it will form Node

we need to find the distance of nearest antinode

So distance between node and its nearest antinode will be

d = \frac{\lambda}{4}

d = \frac{0.26}{4} = 0.065 m = 6.5 cm

So the distance will be 6.5 cm

PV = nRT, is the a. equation of state of an ideal gas
romanna [79]

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P = pressure, V = volume, n = # of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature

Equipartition theorem:

Each degree of freedom that a molecule has adds 0.5kT to its total internal energy where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature

2nd law of thermodynamics:

A set of governing principles that restrict the direction of net heat flow (always hot to cold, heat engines are never 100% efficient, entropy always tends to increase, etc)

Clearly the answer is Choice A

If you know the distance of an earthquake epicenter from three seismic stations, how can you find the exact location of the epic
Contact [7]

You draw 3 circles around the stations with the size of the circle equal to the distance from the earthquake. Then you simply find where the edge circles all overlap.

studies show that the amount of heat stored in the ocean is increasing. what effect might this have? a. the water cycle might di
Rasek [7]

Answer;

D. ocean currents might change course.

Explanation;

Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.

Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.

Who is your favorite fictional character and why? Who is your favorite non-fictional person and why?
Andru [333]
My favorite fictional character is definitely Eren from Attack on Titan because he is strong, caring, and protects the people he loves

My least favorite is Bakugo from My Hero Academia because he is toxic, lowdown, and has severe anger issues.
