Answer:

g = 0.85 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

g = \frac{GM}{h^{2} }

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x 10^{-11} Nm^{2}kg^{-2}), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x 10^{24} kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.

h = 3.40 x R

  = 3.40 x 6371 km

h = 21661.4 km

  = 21661400 m

Thus,

g = \frac{6.674*10^{-11}*5.972*10^{24}  }{(21661400)^{2} }

  = \frac{3.9857 *10^{14} }{4.6922*10^{14} }

  = 0.84944

g = 0.85 ms^{-2}

The acceleration due to the Earth's gravitation is 0.85 ms^{-2}.

A quantity of gas is contained in a sealed container of fixed volume. The temperature of the
Alchen [17]

Answer:

If the Kelvin temperature of a gas is increased, the volume of the gas increases. This can be understood by imagining the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.

Explanation:

If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure. Conversely if you cool the molecules down they will slow and the pressure will be decreased.

To calculate a change in pressure or temperature using Gay Lussac's Law.

You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and han
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

2.2nC

Explanation:

Call the amount by which the spring’s unstretched length L,

the amount it stretches while hanging x1

and the amount it stretches while on the table x2.

Combining Hooke’s law with Newton’s second law, given that the stretched spring is not accelerating,

we have mg−kx1 =0, or k = mg /x1 , where k is the spring constant. On the other hand,

applying Coulomb’s law to the second part tells us ke q2/ (L+x2)2 − kx2 = 0 or q2 = kx2(L+x2)2/ke,

where ke is the Coulomb constant. Combining these,

we get q = √(mgx2(L+x2)²/x1ke =2.2nC

A bag of cement has a mass of 62 g. What is the mass of the bag of cement in S.I. units (kg)?
NNADVOKAT [17]

The mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg) is equal to 0.062 kilograms.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of cement = 62 grams.

To calculate the mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg):

<h3>How to convert to S.I. units.</h3>

In Science, kilograms (kg) is the standard unit of measurement or S.I. units of the mass of a physical object. Thus, we would convert the value of the mass of this bag of cement in grams to kilograms (kg) as follows:

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilograms.

62 grams = X kilograms.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = \frac{62}{1000}

X = 0.062 kilograms.
