Answer:
1.23×10⁸ m
Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity is:
a = GM / r²
where G is the universal gravitational constant,
M is the mass of the planet,
and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.
When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.
g = GM / R²
When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.
1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²
Divide the first equation by the second:
g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)
410 = (i + R)² / R²
410 R² = (i + R)²
410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²
0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²
Solve with quadratic formula:
i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)
i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2
i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2
i = -R ± R√410
i = (-1 ± √410) R
Since i > 0:
i = (-1 + √410) R
R = 6.37×10⁶ m:
i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m
y = 75.9 m
Explanation:
y = -(1/2)gt^2 + v0yt + y0
If we put the origin of our coordinate system at the point where a body is launched, then y0 = 0.
y = -(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2 + (40 m/s)(3 s)
= -44.1 m + 120 m
= 75.9
1. If I hadn't bought that car yesterday.
2. I would have never bought the tickets for today..
3. She wouldn't have gotten suspended.
4. We could've worked on our project.
5. but I was in the shower.
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
where
f is the frequency
is the wavelength
is the speed of light.
For the light in our problem, the frequency is
, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
