The advertisement is deciribing the car’s acceleration, as it gains speed when moving from 0-60.

g In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constr

Lorico [155]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to acceleration due to gravity, as well as Newton's second law that describes the weight based on its mass and the acceleration of the celestial body on which it depends.

In other words the acceleration can be described as

$a = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

Where

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius of Earth

This equation can be differentiated with respect to the radius of change, that is

$\frac{da}{dr} = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}$

$da = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr$

At the same time since Newton's second law we know that:

$F_w = ma$

Where,

m = mass

a =Acceleration

From the previous value given for acceleration we have to

$F_W = m (\frac{GM}{r^2} ) = 600N$

Finally to find the change in weight it is necessary to differentiate the Force with respect to the acceleration, then:

$dF_W = mda$

$dF_W = m(-2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr)$

$dF_W = -2(m\frac{GM}{r^2})(\frac{dr}{r})$

$dF_W = -2F_W(\frac{dr}{r})$

But we know that the total weight (F_W) is equivalent to 600N, and that the change during each mile in kilometers is 1.6km or 1600m therefore:

$dF_W = -2(600)(\frac{1.6*10^3}{6.37*10^6})$

$dF_W = -0.3N$

Therefore there is a weight loss of 0.3N every kilometer.

Why is the rotation system used in volleyball? Physics was the closest thing to PE

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

A rotation occurs after every side out, which is when the receiving team gains the right to serve by winning a rally. ... The new serving team will rotate clockwise one spot. The purpose of this is to rotate all the players through the serving position. If you continue winning points, you stay in position.

What is the equation for potential energy?

Mrrafil [7]

You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h

Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Hope this helps!

Background information about reflection and refraction of light

KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

"why are some galaxies' spectra blueshifted rather than redshifted?"

stira [4]

This phenomena is also called the Doppler shift. When the source of light is approaching towards an observer, the color tends to be blue shifted, but when the source is moving away or being stretch, the color tends to red shifted. In astronomy it can be use how fast galaxy is moving towards us or how fast it moves away.
