Why do the planets in our solar system have a layered internal structure?

1 answer:

4 0

This is because a planet has unique, internal characteristics or composition that are settled at different depths based on their given density.

Taken, for example, our own planet Earth. The Earth's structure is well determined. It's interior consists of several layers: the crust- a relatively thin region of low-density silicates; the mantle- a thick region of higher-density of iron-rich silicates, and lastly is the core- the central region of iron which is mixed with various impurities.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.

Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

$ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}$

$ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}$

At the same time we have that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}$

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s$
