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

Physics

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.

The density of a block of wood is 694 kg/m3. Its mass is 689 g. We tie the block to the bottom of a swimming pool using a single
Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = density of the wood block/density of water = weight of the wood block/Upthrust of the wood block in water.

R.d = D₁/D₂ = W/U

W/U =D₁/D₂.................................. Equation 1

Where W = weight of the wood block, U = upthrust of the wood block in water, D₁ = Density of the wood block, D₂ = Density of water.

Making U the subject of the equation,

U = WD₂/D₁........................... Equation 2

Given: W =  mg = (689/1000)9.8 = 6.75 N,  D₁ = 694 kg/m³, D₂ = 1000 kg/m³.

Substituting these values into equation 2,

U = 6.75(694)/1000

U = 4684.5/1000

U = 4.685 N.

Note: Three forces act on the wood block in the pool. and they are

(i) The weight(W) acting downs

(ii) The upthrust (U) acting upwards,

(iii) The Tension (T) in the string, acting upwards.

Thus,

W = U+T

T = W - U ................................. Equation 3

Where W = 6.75 N, U = 4.685 N

T = 6.75 - 4.685

T = 2.065 N.

T = 2.065 N

<em>Thus the tension in the string = 2.065 N</em>

A cart traveling at 0.3 m/s collides with stationary object. After the collision, the cart rebounds in the opposite direction. T
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

C.   In the first collision has twice the momentum as when it stays still ( second colllions)

Explanation:

To see which statement is correct, it is best to solve the problem, the momentum is equal to the variation of the moment

     I = Δp = m vf - m v₀

     I = m (vf -v₀)

Case 1. In car bounces, the initial speed is 0.3 m / s, say that this direction is positive, when the magnitude of the speed bounces it remains constant, but its direction is reversed (vf = -0.3 m / s)

    I₁ = m (-0.3 - 0.3)

    I₁ = -0.6 m

Case 2. The expensive one that still after the crash so its speed is zero (vf = 0)

    I₂ = m (0 - 0.3)

    I₂ = -0.3 m

Let's calculate the relationship between the two impulses

     I₁ / I₂ = -0.6m / -0.3m

     I₂ / I₂ = 2

When it bounces it has twice the momentum as when it stays still

Now let's analyze the answers:

A.   False The momentum changes

B. False. The momentum is less in the second collision

C. True.  The momentum is double in this collision

D. False. Can be calculated, because the mass is the same throughout the exercise and is eliminated in the equations

E. False.  When they say bounces it implies the same speed with the opposite direction

An object is dropped from the top of a tall building. At 2 seconds, it is 64 feet from the top of the building. At 4 seconds, it
jeka94

Answer:

96.21 ft/s

Explanation:

To solve this, you only need to use one expression which is:

Vf² = Vo² + 2gh

g = 9.8 m/s²

However, this exercise is talking in feet, so convert the gravity to feet first:

g = 9.8 * 3.28 = 32.15 ft/s²

Vo is zero, because it's a free fall and in free fall the innitial speed is always zero. With this, let's calculate the speed at 2 seconds, with a height of 64 ft, and then with the 256 ft:

V1 = √2*32.15*64

V1 = 64.15 ft/s

V2 = √2*32.15*256

V2 = 128.3 ft/s

So the average rate is:

V = 128.3 + 64.15 / 2

V = 96.22 ft/s
