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

Ask Your Teacher The height h in feet reached by a dolphin t seconds after breaking the surface of the water is given by h = −16
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1 second

Explanation:

h = −16t² + 32t

When, h = 16

16 = −16t² + 32t

Divide each of the numbers by 16

1 = -1t² + 2t

Rearrange the equation

1t²-2t+1 = 0

Solving by the quadratic formula, we get

t=\frac{-(-2)\pm \sqrt{(-2)^2-4\times 1\times 1}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2\pm 0}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=1\ s

So, time taken by the dolphin to jump out of the water and touch the trainer's hand is 1 second.

16) A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back
finlep [7]

Answer:

The man's total displacement is equal to 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back  to the starting line.

We need to find the total displacement of the man.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

Also,

Displacement = final position - initial position

As it reaches back to its starting line, it means, the displacement is equal to 0.

Hence, the man's total displacement is equal to 0.

The reactive force developed by a jet engine to push an airplane forward is called thrust, and the thrust developed by the engin
finlep [7]

The value of the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 in N and Kgf are ;

i) 376616N

ii) 38430Kgf

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is a push or a pull. The reactive force always serve to balance the applied force. We are here asked to convert the  the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 which is about 85400 lbf to the following units;

i) N

ii)kgf

Thus;

1 Ib = 0.45 Kg

1 lbf = 0.45 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.41 N

We know that;

1 lbf = 4.41 N

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf. * 4.41 N/1 lbf

= 376616N

Again;

1 lbf = 0.45 Kgf

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf * 0.45 Kgf/1 lbf

= 38430Kgf
