Answer:

Is always towards the center of the Earth

Explanation:

As a satellite moves around the Earth in a circular orbit, the direction of the force of gravity is always towards the center of the Earth. At an altitude of 100 km, you would be so high that you would see black sky and stars if you looked upwards.

A mass is attached to a vertical spring, which then goes into oscillation. At the high point of the oscillation, the spring is i

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

0.34 sec

Explanation:

Low point of spring ( length of stretched spring ) = 5.8 cm

midpoint of spring = 5.8 / 2 = 2.9 cm

Determine the oscillation period

at equilibrum condition

Kx = Mg

g= 9.8 m/s^2

x = 2.9 * 10^-2 m

k / m = 9.8 / ( 2.9 * 10^-2 ) = 337.93

note : w = $\sqrt{k/m}$ = $\sqrt{337.93}$ = 18.38 rad/sec

Period of oscillation = $2\pi / w$

= 0.34 sec

Regions in the milky way where density waves have caused gas clouds to crash into each other are called clumps.Clumps are molecular clouds (interstellar clouds) with higher density,where lots of dust and gs cores resides. These clouds are the beginning of stars.
