a = G M / R^2    gravitational acceleration

R^2 = G M / a = 6.67E-11 * 5.98E24 / 5.6 m^2/s^2

R^2 = 6.67 * 5.98 / 5.6 E13 = 71.2E12

R = 8.44E6 m

H = (8.44 - 6.37) E6 m = 2.07E6m   above the surface of the earth

(About 1/3 of the radius of the earth)

As a check 4/3^2 = 1.78

9.8 m/s^2 / 1.8 = 5.4    Close enough to 5.6

Rami uses a disposable camera that has a flash. When he wants to take a picture, he holds a button and hears a rising whining so

<span>It stores energy and delivers it in a short burst.

The whirring sound is produced by the charging of the capacitor. A capacitor is an electrical component which is capable of storing charge. When the capacitor stores charge, it is storing energy. After doing so, the capacitor releases the electrical energy that it had stored as light energy, which is seen as the flash of the camera. It must do so in a burst, because the intensity of the flash is very high and would require a high amount of energy to maintain.
