Soon after Earth was formed, heat released by the decay of radioactive elements raised the average internal temperature from 300

to 3000 K, at about which value it remains today. Assuming an average coefficient of volume expansion of 3.2 × 10–5 K–1, by how much has the radius of Earth increased since the planet was formed?

Answer:

97.03%

Explanation:

The equation for volumetric expansion due to thermal expansion is as follows

V/Vo=(1+γΔT)

V=final volume

Vo=initial volume

γ=coefficient of volume expansion=3.2 × 10–5 K–1

ΔT=

temperature difference

assuming that the earth is a sphere the volume is given by

V=(4/3)pi R^3

if we find the relationship between the initial and final volume we have the following

\frac{V}{Vo}  =\frac{ \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} }{ \frac{4}{3} \pi ro^{3}}=\frac{r^{3} }{ro^{3}}

taking into account the previous equation

r/ro=(1+γΔT)^(1/3)

r/r0=(1-3.2x10-5(3000-300))^(1/3)=

r/ro=0.9703=97.03%

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.500 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 35.0 m/s and is batted straight back
Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

The impulse equation is

Δp = FΔt, where Δp = final momentum - initial momentum, F is the Force exerted on an object, and Δt is the change in time. In this equation,the entire right side defines the impulse. In other words, FΔt is the impulse; thus the change in momentum an object experiences is due to its change in impulse and is directly proportional to it.

Therefore, once we find the change in momentum, that is the impulse the object experiences. Δp = final momentum - initial momentum, where

p = mv and p is momentum.

p_f=(.500)(50.0) so

p_f=25.0 and

p_i=(.500)(35.0) so

p_i=17.5; therefore,

Δp = 25.0 - 17.5 = 7.5\frac{kg*m}{s} which is the unit for momentum
