Gravity obeys the inverse square law. At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x. Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th. Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th. 4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km. But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer: 19,200 km.
Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way. At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
Answer:
33.33j+6.67i km/hr
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of momentum,
Applying,
mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the truck, m' = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the truck, u' = initial velocity of the car, V = Final velocity.
Note: let j represent the north, and i represent the east
From the question,
Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 60j, m' = 1200 kg, u' = 15i
Substitute these values into equation 1
1500*60j+1200*15i = V(1500+1200)
90000j+18000i = 2700V
V = (90000j+18000i)/2700
V = 33.33j+6.67i km/hr
