My guess without working it would be the amoeba. 9 feet uniformly applied around something as large as the earth does not add up to much. You would need to take the circumference of the earth. add nine feet to it. calculate the radius of the earth, calculate the radius of the earth + 9 feet (the rope). subtract the two. That will give you the distance between them adn will let you answer the question.

so ap physics is purely rather problematic, and as constantly relies upon on the instructor to boot (is he/she a sturdy instructor? lots or little artwork, and so on…) additionally relies upon on what else you’re taking once you’re taking ap physics, if the different training are not problematic and you will concentration on the class, then it relies upon and it relies upon on you, and how the undertaking is for you, and how problematic you choose to artwork at it sorry if this would not help, yet there are multiple aspects…
