Where do you weight more on top of Mt. Everest (Highest Mt. in the world) or at the beach

1 answer:

8 0

You weigh slightly more at the beach than on top of a mountain, because at the beach, you're closer to the center of the Earth.

Listening to your favorite radio station involves which area of physics?

lukranit [14]

If I'm not mistaken the answer would be c, vibrations and wave phenomena, because when sound waves hit your ear they go through it to your brain and your mind translates these vibrations to sound. I hope my answer helped you out.

Geosynchronous satellites orbit the Earth at a distance of 42 000 km from the Earth's center. Their angular speed at this height

frozen [14]

Answer:

Force will be 7.97 N

Explanation:

We have given that earth is at s distance of 42000 km from the earth center

So r = 42000 km = 42000000 m

Mass m = 1500 kg

Angular velocity of earth $\omega =7.29\times 10^{-5}rad/sec$

We have to find the force

We know that force is given by

$F=m\omega ^2r=1500\times (7.29\times 10^{-5})^2\times 42000000=797.1615\times 10^{-2}=7.97N$

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are connected

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

18 ohms

Explanation:

V = I(R1 + R2)

5V = (0.167A)(12 ohms + R2)

Solving for R2

R2 = 18 ohms

to measure the static friction coefficient between a block and a vertical wall, a spring is attached to the block, is pushed on

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx
