At what altitude above the earth's surface is the gravitational acceleration 5. 6 m/s2?.

Physics

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

Planet C has a tilt of zero degrees. What seasonal changes would be expected on this planet?
marshall27 [118]
The second statement is your answer:

 No change in temperatures between seasons. Since tilt is the angle between the direction of positive pole and the normal to the orbital plane, seasons occur due to the tilt of axis. If there were to be no, or zero degree tilt, then there will be no season because of the lack in temperature changes. The amount of sunlight received remains same throughout the year which results in no temperature change

4) A cannon shoots a cannonball of mass 5kg vertically upward from the mouth of a cannon with muzzle velocity of 7 m/s. At a hei
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

h =220 m

Explanation:

Given that

u = 7 m/s

Even mass will attach but this will not produce any effect on the maximum height of the ball.Because in energy conservation the effect of mass does not present.

So the final speed of the ball will be zero at the maximum height.

v² = u² - 2 g (25 + h)

0 = 7² - 2 x 10 (25 +h)

49 = 20 ( 25 +h)

49 = 500 +20 h

Here h comes out negative that is why we are taking the 70 m/s in place of 7 m/s.

0 = 70² - 2 x 10 (25 +h)         ( take g =10 m/s²)

4900 = 20 ( 25 +h)

4900 = 500 +20 h

4900- 500 = 20 h

4400 = 20 h

440 = 2 h

h =220 m

Calculate the average distances the car and the washer traveled from the top of the track. Record the averages and your qualitat
leva [86]
The distance the car traveled was 75 cm, and the distance the washer traveled was 200 cm. I know this because of coarse I had to calculate the distance and I just took the quiz and it said I got it right.
(I also calculated it again to make sure it was correct before I gave you the answer.) 

P.S- Please mark me Brainliest, thank you (^v^).

5.0 Points The blue color of the sky is the result of
mina [271]

The blue color of the sky is the result of scattering. The answer is letter B. it is specifically called the Rayleigh scattering. This blue color is the result of the incoming rays of the Sun into the earth’s atmosphere. It has he lowest wavelength which as we all see is the blue spectrum of light.
