How far from the surface of Earth is the magnitude of Earth's gravitational field equal to 7.86 N/kg?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

7.48 x 10⁵ m

Explanation:

g = 7.86 N/kg

M = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m.

Find height h

g = GM/(R + h)²

(R + h)² = GM/g = 6.67 x 10⁺¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴ /7.86 = 5.066 x 10¹³

R + h = 7.12 x 10⁶ m

so

h =  7.12 x 10⁶ - 6.37 x 10⁶ = 7.48 x 10⁵ m

You are walking from your math class to your science class. You are carrying books
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1800J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the book  = 20N

Total distance covered  = 45m + 15m + 30m  = 90m

Unknown:

Total work performed on the books  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

So;

    Work done  = Force x distance

  Work done  = 20 x 90  = 1800J

Three cars collide, a 1500 kg sports car, a 1750 kg family car, and a 1200 kg compact car. Which experiences the greatest change
sweet [91]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

This is because momentum is defined as p = mv

delta p = Force *time

neither velocity nor time is given so a conclusion cannot be made on which has the greatest momentum change.

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = e^{kt}

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀ = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

0.1 = e^{-0.01t}

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s
