The value of g is greater at the poles than at the equator why​

Physics
2 answers:
Degger [83]3 years ago

The reason is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere. The distance from the poles to the centre of the Earth is smaller and the gravity is slightly greater.
The distance from the equator to the centre is slightly bigger so gravity is slightly smaller.

Answer:

because the gravitational pull is maximum at the poles and decreases as it comes down toward the equator.

Which three factors are used to calculate gravitational potential energy?
Elis [28]

Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

The molecular weight of oxygen gas (o2) is 32 while that of hydrogen gas (h2) is 2.
anzhelika [568]

use the formula: v^2=(3kT)/m

Where:

<em>v is the velocity of a molecule</em>

<em>k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38064852e-23 J/K)</em>

<em>T is the temperature of the molecule in the air</em>

<em>m is the mass of the molecule</em>

For an H2 molecule at 20.0°C (293 K):

v^2 = 3 × 1.38e-23 J/K × 293 K / (2.00 u × 1.66e-27 kg/u)

v^2 = 3.65e+6 m^2/s^2

v = 1.91e+3 m/s

For an O2 molecule at same temp.:

v^2 = 3 × 1.38e-23 J/K × 293 K / (32.00 u × 1.66e-27 kg/u)

v^2 = 2.28e+5 m^2/s^2

v = 478 m/s

Therefore, the ratio of H2:O2 velocities is:

1.91e+3 / 478 = 4.00
