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

Physics

Sholpan [36]3 years ago
5 0

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

Describe three physical changes that occur in nature?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: Physical changes in nature could then be erosion in a mountain, the melting of snow, and a river freezing over from the cold. Since none of these changes affect the chemical composition of the mountain, the snow, or the river, they are physical changes.

During a collision between a photon and an electron, there is conservation of
jasenka [17]
The collision between a photon or a bundle of energy and an electron is known as the Compton Effect in which there is a transference of energy and momentum by the photon to the recoiling electron. It must be noted that both energy and momentum are being conserved during this elastic collision. After such phenomena, the photon acquires energy (represented by hf/) and the electron also has acquired a kinetic energy (represented by K).

Do anyone know this ?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Distance is 100m, displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is how much you travelled in total (100m)

Displacement is when you compare your final and initial positions.

It is usually Final position - Initial position.

Since you start and finish at the same point, it would be 0 - 0 = 0m

So the displacement is 0m.

A block of height 120mm is placed on top of another block with a height of 1.50 m. What is the height of the two blocks together
pav-90 [236]
We will first convert all units to meters and then solve the problem.
We are given that:
1000 mm = 1 m
120 mm = ?? meters
using cross multiplication:
120 mm = (120*1) / 1000 = 0.12 m

Now, when the two objects are placed over each other, their total height is the result of summation of both heights, therefore:
total height = 0.12 + 1.5 = 1.62 m

Based on the above calculations, the correct choice is:
<span>b) 1.62 m </span>
