Answer: $M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Explanation:

We know that force acting on an object due to Earth's gravity on the surface is given by:

$mg = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}\\ \Rightarrow g = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, r would be radius of Earth, M is the mass of Earth and G is the gravitational constant.

It is given that at pole, g = 9.830 m/s² and r = 6371 km = 6371 × 10³ m

$\Rightarrow M = \frac{g\times r^2}{G}$

$M = \frac{9.830 m/s^2 \times (6371 \times 10^3 m )^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Hence, Earth's mass is $5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

This is a measure of the quantity of matter.

The measure of the quantity of matter would be mass. Mass is measured in kilograms. I hope this helped!:)

An object has the acceleration graph shown in (Figure 1). Its velocity at t=0s is vx=2.0m/s. Draw the object's velocity graph fo

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

$v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

$v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

Where:

$v_{a}$ , $v_{b}$ - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

$t_{a}$ , $t_{b}$ - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

$a(t)$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (4\,s-0\,s)$

$v_{4} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region II (t = 4 s to t = 6 s)

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{6\,s}_{4\,s} {\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (6\,s-4\,s)$

$v_{6} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region III (t = 6 s to t = 10 s)

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{10\,s}_{6\,s} {\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (10\,s-6\,s)$

$v_{10} = 4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we draw the object's velocity graph as follows. Graphic is attached below.

Suppose Joe, who can type 40 words per minute, takes 2.5 hours to type his report. To speed things up, his friend Mark offers to

Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

When Joe works alone, the total number of words he typed can be given by:

Total words = (40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hour) x (2.5 hours)

Total words = 6000 words

Now, when Joe and Mark work together, let 'y' be the number of hours for which they both work simultaneously:

Total words = Words Typed by Joe + Words Typed by Mark

6000 = {(40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)} + {(20 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)}

6000 = 2400y + 1200y = 3600y

y = 1.67 hours = 1 hour and 40 minutes

Thus, working together simultaneously, Joe and Mark will take 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the report.

all objects near the earths surface-regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them. is it true or f

pickupchik [31]

False: the force of gravity acting on different objects is different and depends on their mass

Explanation:

The answer is false.

The force of gravity acting on an object (also known as weight) near the Earth's surface is given by:

$F=mg$

where:

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

We see from the formula that the force of gravity acting on an object depends on the mass: the larger the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it, and the smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity.

The factor that does not change is the acceleration of gravity, which is constant ( $9.8 m/s^2$ ) if we are near the Earth's surface, and implies that all the objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate towards the ground, regardless of their size and weight.
