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

HELPPP!!!!<br> if you double the force what is the change in acceleration
jenyasd209 [6]

As we know that acceleration is directly proportional to force, therefore as the force is doubled, acceleration gets doubled too.

Is visible light a form of<br> radiation? Explain.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).
