Explanation:
<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>
Density 
is defined as a relation between mass 
and volume 
:
(1)
Where:
is the average density of the continent
is the mass of the continent
is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:
Finding the mass:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the mass of the continent
<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>
Kinetic energy 
is given by the following equation:
(5)
Where:
is the mass of the continent
is the velocity of the continent
(6)
(7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent
<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>
If we have a jogger with mass 
and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent 
, we can find its velocity by isolating 
from (5):
(6)
Finally:
This is the speed of the jogger
Answer:
(a) T = 0.015 N
(b) M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g
Explanation:
(a) T = 0.015 N
First, we will find the speed of waves:
where,
v = speed of wave = ?
f = frequency = 120 Hz
λ = wavelength = 6 cm = 0.06 m
Therefore,
v = (120 Hz)(0.06 m)
v = 7.2 m/s
Now, we will find the linear mass density of the coil:
where,
μ = linear mass density = ?
m = mass = 1.45 g = 1.45 x 10⁻³ kg
l = length = 5 m
Thereforre,
Now, for the tension we use the formula:
<u>T = 0.015 N</u>
<u></u>
(b)
The mass to be hung is:
<u>M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g</u>
