What is the relation between acceleration due to gravity and radius of the earth? ​

Physics

emmasim [6.3K]2 years ago

Answer:

As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2

child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a s
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

θ = 13.7º

Explanation:

  • According to the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of the combined mass of the child and the sled, is equal to the total work done on the object by external forces.
  • The external forces capable to do work on the combination of child +sled, are the friction force (opposing to the displacement), and the component of the weight parallel to the slide.
  • As this last work is just equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy (with opposite sign) , we can write the following equation:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = W_{nc} (1)

  • ΔK, is the change in kinetic energy, as follows:

       \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}* m* (v_{f} ^{2}  - v_{0} ^{2}) (2)

  • ΔU, is the change in the gravitational potential energy.
  • If we choose as our zero reference level, the bottom of the slope, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

        \Delta U = 0 - m*g*h = -m*g*d* sin\theta (3)

  • Finally, the work done for non-conservative forces, is the work done by the friction force, along the slope, as follows:

        W_{nc} = F_{f} * d * cos 180\º \\\\  = 0.2*m*g*d* cos 180\º = -0.2*m*g*d (4)

  • Replacing (2), (3), and (4) in (1), simplifying common terms, and rearranging, we have:

      \frac{1}{2}* (v_{f} ^{2}  - v_{0} ^{2}) = g*d* sin\theta -0.2*g*d

  • Replacing by the givens and the knowns, we can solve for sin θ, as follows:              \frac{1}{2}*( (4.30 m/s) ^{2}  - (0.75 m/s)^{2}) = 9.8 m/s2*25.5m* sin\theta -0.2*9.8m/s2*25.5m\\ \\ 8.56 (m/s)2 = 250(m/s)2* sin \theta -50 (m/s)2\\ \\ sin \theta = \frac{58.6 (m/s)2}{250 (m/s)2}  = 0.236⇒ θ = sin⁻¹ (0.236) = 13.7º

What is the surface temperature of Sirius B in Kelvins?
Sauron [17]

Answer: The surface temperature of Sirius B is 25,200 Kelvins(K).

Explanation: You would think Sirius would have a surface temperature of 9,940 Fahrenheit. That is somewhat correct, but Sirius is a binary star consisting of a main-sequence star of spectral type A0 or A1, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, termed Sirius B. Sirius, Sirius A, and Sirius B, are all different stars. Sirius A has a temperature of 9,940 Kelvins, but Sirius B has a temperature of 25,200 Kelvins(K).
