The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by
where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.
The Earth's radius is , so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:
And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:
Answer:
B) the change in momentum.
Explanation:
The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision ():
(1)
We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
So, (1) becomes
Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: . If we substitute into the previous equation, we find
And the quantity is equivalent to the change in momentum,
.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The wavelength of light,
We need to find the frequency of the light. We know that,
So, the required frequency of light is equal to .
