Question

1. Many people know that the weight of an object varies on different planets, but did you know that the weight of an object on Earth also varies according to the elevation of the object? In particular, the weight of an object follows this equation: , where C is a constant, and r is the distance that the object is from the center of Earth.

a. Solve the equation for r.

b. Suppose that an object is 150 pounds when it is at sea level. Find the value of C that makes the equation true. (Sea level is 3,963 miles from the center of the Earth.)

c. Use the value of C you found in the previous que

Answer 1

Online college? right.

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

I am no good at math lol

Answer 4

Cool, many people doing online college come for help here!
U will surely get help here! :)

Answer 19

khan i dont think so, there must be an equation. read it carefully.

Answer 20

Kumar, i have done this like 1000 time, we have to make the equation!

Answer 21

\[W=Cr ^{-2}\]

Answer 22

this is it I am sure

Answer 23

In particular, the weight of an object follows this equation:
w= Cr^-2. where C is a constant, and r is the distance that the object is from the center of the earth.
a. Solve the equation w=Cr^-2 for r.
Multiply both sides by r^2 to get:
wr^2 = C
r^2 = C/w
r = sqrt[C/w]
