If the gravitational field strength at the top of Mount Everest is 9.772 N/kg, approximately how tall (in feet) is

Physics

Answer:

The height of the Everest mountain is, x =  8514.087 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The gravitational field strength at the top of mount Everest, gₓ = 9.772 m/s²

The formula for gravitational field strength is,

                               <em> gₓ = GM/(R+x)²</em>

Where, x is the height from the surface of the Earth

Therefore,

                                (R+x)² = GM/gₓ

                                     x = √(GM/gₓ) - R

Substituting the values,

                       x = √(6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ X  5.972 x 10²⁴ / 9.772) - 6.378 x 10⁶

                       x =  8514.087 m          

Therefore, the height of the Everest mountain is, x =  8514.087 m

Which of the following are scalar quantities? select all that apply
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

1, 4, 5, see the explanation below

Explanation:

We must remember that scalar magnitudes are distinguished by having only a physical quantity, that is, they have no sense or direction as an example of scalar quantities, we find mass, temperature, energy, specific heat, power among others.

1 . 150 [grams] , because is a mass =  scalar

4. 5 kilometer [race], is an amount = scalar

5. 34 steps, is an amount = scalar

Number 2, and 3 are vectors because they have amount and direction.

Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2431.6 kJ/kg and exi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Steam Mass rate, ms = 1.5 kg/min

= 1.5 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 0.025 kg/s

Air Mass rate, ma = 100 kg/min

= 100 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 1.67 kg/s

A.

Extracting the specific enthalpy and temperature values from property table of “Saturated water – Pressure table” which corresponds to temperature at 0.07 MPa.

xf, quality = 0.9.

Tsat = 89.9°C

hf = 376.57 kJ/kg

hfg = 2283.38 kJ/kg

Using the equation for specific enthalpy,

hi = hf + (hfg × xf)

= 376.57 + (2283.38 × 0.9)

= 2431.552 kJ/kg

The specific enthalpy of the outlet, h2 = hf

= 376.57 kJ/kg

B.

Rate of enthalpy (heat exchange), Q = mass rate, ms × change in specific enthalpy

= ms × (hi - h2)

= 0.025 × (2431.552 - 376.57)

= 0.025 × 2055.042

= 51.37455 kW

= 51.38 kW.

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m      

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}

a=10\ m/s^2

We know that, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}

a=1.02\ g

Hence, this is the required solution.

a ball on a string makes 30.0 revolutions in 14.4s, in a circle of radius 0.340m. what is its period.(unit=s)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

0.480 seconds

Explanation:

The period is the time for 1 revolution.  Writing a proportion:

14.4 s / 30.0 rev = t / 1 rev

t = 0.480 s

The period is 0.480 seconds.
