At the North Pole or South Pole but ur body itself doesn’t not change it is the force of gravity that changes as u approach the pole

Answer:

Explanation:

Your body weighs more at the pole for two important reasons. Both have to do to the spin of the earth on its axis.

Because of its spin the earth is thicker around the equator than it is through the poles. This means that when you stand on the equator, you are farther away from the center of earth than you would be at the poles. As gravity decreases with the inverse of the square of distance, gravity will be weaker at the equator.

As you are also spinning with the earth, you will have a required centripetal acceleration and force to keep you attached to the ground, This force decreases the effect of gravity so again, you would weigh less at the equator.

Sound with frequency 1300 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.03 m . At what minimum angle relative to the cent
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

  about 14.7°

Explanation:

The formula for the angle of the first minimum is ...

  sin(θ) = λ/a

where θ is the angle relative to the door centerline, λ is the wavelength of the sound, and "a" is the width of the door.

The wavelength of the sound is the speed of sound divided by the frequency:

  λ = (340 m/s)/(1300 Hz) ≈ 0.261538 m

Then the angle of interest is ...

  θ = arcsin(0.261538/1.03) ≈ 14.7°

At an angle of about 14.7°, someone outside the room will hear no sound.

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
