Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

Explain how sound is being produced from this 'Stomp' group.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates, creating a pressure wave. This pressure wave causes particles in the surrounding medium (air, water, or solid) to have vibrational motion. As the particles vibrate, they move nearby particles, transmitting the sound further through the medium. The human ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles vibrate small parts within the ear.

In many ways, sound waves are similar to light waves. They both originate from a definite source and can be distributed or scattered using various means. Unlike light, sound waves can only travel through a medium, such as air, glass, or metal. This means there’s no sound in space!

A hockey puck oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal track while attached to a horizontal spring. The puck has mass 0.160 kg a
marshall27 [118]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     mass (m) = 0.160 kg,            spring constant (k) = 8 n/m,

     Maximum speed (v_{m}) = 0.350 m/s

Formula for angular frequency is as follows.

          \omega = \sqrt{\frac{{k}{m}}

    \omega = \sqrt{\frac{{8}{0.160}}

    \omega = 7.07 rad/sec

(a) Formula to calculate the amplitude is as follows.

            \nu_{max} = A \omega

                  A = \frac{\nu}{\omega}

                      = \frac{0.35}{7.07}

                      = 0.05 m

Hence, value of amplitude is 0.05 m.

(b)   Displacement = 0.030 m

Formula for mechanical energy is as follows.

            M.E = \frac{1}{2}kA^{2}

Putting the values into the above formula as follows.

            M.E = \frac{1}{2}kA^{2}

                   = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (0.05)^{2}

                   = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} Joule

For x = 0.03,

As,     P.E = \frac{1}{2} \times kx^{2}

                = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times (0.03)

                = 3.6 \times 10^{-3}

Hence, calculate the kinetic energy as follows.

            K.E = M.E - P.E

                  = (9.8 \times 10^{-3} - 3.6 \times 10^{-3}) J

                  = 6.2 \times 10^{-3} J

Thus, we can conclude that kinetic energy of the puck when the displacement of the glider is 0.0300 m is 6.2 \times 10^{-3} J.

Find the gravitational force that Earth (mass = 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg) exerts on the moon (mass = 7.35 × 10²² kg) when the distance bet
alexandr402 [8]

Explanation:

mass of earth (m1)=5.97×10^24

mass of moon (m2)=7.35×10^22

distance between their center (d)= 3.84×10^8

G=6.67×10^-11

now,

gravitational force =(F)= G(m1×m2)/d²

  • 6.67×10^-11(5.97×10^24×7.35×10^22)/(3.84×10^8)
  • 19.84×10^19
