At what distance will the weight of a body be halved , Earth's radius=6.4×10^6

Physics
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago

A body of mass m has weight

F = GMm/r²

on the surface of the Earth, where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, and r is it's radius.

If the weight is to be halved, then we have

1/2 F = 1/2 GMm/r² = (1/√2)² GMm/r² = GMm/(√2 r²)

so the distance between the body and the planet's center needs to be

√2 × 6.4 × 10⁶ m ≈ 9.1 × 10⁶ m

Hello!
34kurt
Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

polet [3.4K]

a. a gradual approximation to the final solution

Explanation:

Means/end analysis is a process that involves creation of an end goal to enable the identified means to apply.

In this techniques sub-goals are formed to eliminate the challenges faced in application of a selected operator.

It starts by identifying a predetermined goal which is followed by actions that will led to the goal.

Explanation:

BMI= weight/(height × height)          ; weight in kilogram and height in metter

     = 58kg / (1.61m  × 1.61m )

     = (58/ 2.5921) kg/m^{2}

     = 22.375  kg/m^{2}

     ≈ 22.4 kg/m^{2}
