Answer: 6,400 km
Explanation:
The weight of a person is given by:
where m is the mass of the person and g is the acceleration due to gravity. While the mass does not depend on the height above the surface, the value of g does, following the formula:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the person from the Earth's center
The problem says that the person weighs 800 N at the Earth's surface, so when r=R (Earth's radius):
(1)
Now we want to find the height h above the surface at which the weight of the man is 200 N:
(2)
If we divide eq.(1) by eq.(2), we get
By solving the equation, we find:
which has two solutions:
--> negative solution, we can ignore it
--> this is our solution
Since the Earth's radius is 
, the person should be at 
above Earth's surface.
Overweight:25 to 30, obese: over 30
Answer:
False
Explanation:
From the fact that light is emitted in portion, it does not follow that light ray is discrete in structure.
The way Einstein put it was that if a beer is always sold in pint bottles, that does not mean that beer contain of indivisible pint bottles. Yet experiments in which light knocked electrons out of materials insistently made the point that light is absorbed only in the form of discrete portions. An emitted portion or quantum of light energy retains it's individuality in subsequent events as well.
This concept was first stated by Einstein in 1905. From the heuristic point of view that he developed light is always made up of discrete portions possessing energy and momentum.
"Light year" is a distance, not a speed. It's the distance light travels in one year, at the speed of 299,792,458 meters per second.
Okay, I don't know if this question is supposed to be a trick question or not. The weight of the apple does not change as the plane travels up the atmosphere, but the MASS changes. Weight doesn't change no matter what environment you're in, but the mass changes in different environments. In this case, the weight is constant but the mass is decreasing as you go higher up.
