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

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if each block represents one foot(show your calculation)
iren2701 [21]

I'm pretty sure that the "block" of which you speak is one in a pattern
of them that covers the drawing you have of the rectangle, and now
I need to explain something to you: 

The REASON for printing that drawing next to the question that you
partially copied is that the drawing has information that's needed to
answer the question with, and rather than repeat all that information
in the question, it just says "LOOK AT THE DRAWING !"

In fact, the whole point of the question may not be just to remind you of
what "perimeter" means.  It's more likely that the purpose of this problem
is to make you pick the information you need off of a drawing. 

Either way, if you'll kind of "read between the lines" of the part of the
question that you DID copy, it should be pretty obvious to you that nobody's
going nowhere in the direction of a solution without SEEing the drawing. 

So my bottom-line conclusion regarding a solution for this problem is: 
Not possible with the given information.

Given the resistivities below, which material is best described as an insulator?
koban [17]

Answer: D) 3.2 × 10^8

Explanation: Insulators are best described as materials which are poor conductors of electricity and hence do not allow passage of electricity through them. Resistivity are hence used to describe property or characteristic of a material which does not allow the flow or passage of electric current.

In summary, materials which high resistivity values are referred to as Insulators. Conversely, those with low resistivity or high conductivity values are called conductors while those with intermediate values are named semiconductors.

In the question given above, the material with a resistivity value of 3.2 × 10^8 - - - has a very high resistivity value (320000000Ω), the other options given have very low resistivity values ; 0.0000000017, etc and are most likely to be conductors due to their excessively low resistivity values.

A 3.00-m rod is pivoted about its left end. A force of 7.80 N is applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance of 1.60 m from t
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The net torque about the pivot is and the answer is 'c'

c. T_{net}=8.58

Explanation:

T=F*d

The torque is the force apply in a distance so it is the moment so depends on the way to be put it the signs so:

T_1=F_1*d_1

T_1=7.8N*1.6m=12.48N*m

T_2=F_2*d_2

T_2=2.60N**cos(30)*3.0m

T_2= - 3.9 N*m

Now to find the net Torque is the summation of both torques

T_{net}=T_1+T_2

T_{net}=12.48N-3.9N=8.58N

Current will travel along the path with the highest resistance. <br><br>true or false​
raketka [301]

True. Being an electrical engineer, you learn very quickly that current will take All paths of resistance. But, the higher the resistance the lower the voltage. So, if a high resistance is shorted and the current flows through the short, there will be some small voltage across it, so some small amount of current will still flow through the high resistance.
