The acceleration of gravity is inversely proportional to
the square of the distance from Earth's center.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² on the Earth's surface ...
6380 km from the center.
If the acceleration of gravity at 'h' is 4.9 m/s² ... 1/2 of what it is
on the surface, then the distance from the center is
(6380 x √2) = 9,023 km (rounded) ,
and 'h' is the distance above the surface
= (9,023 - 6,380) = 2,643 km (rounded) .
A complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soil; the totality constituting a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical environment for life on this planet
Answer:
Option C is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Absolute pressure is sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.
That is
We have
Substituting
Option C is the correct answer.
1). The little projectile is affected by friction all the way through the block.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.
2). The block is affected by friction as it scrapes along the top of the post.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.
3). The block is also affected by friction with the air (air resistance) as it
falls to the ground. Friction robs some kinetic energy.
