1) we calculate the volume of the Earth expressed in ft.
Volume of a sphere=(4/3)πr³
3960 miles=3960 miles*(5280 ft/1 mile)=20908800 ft

Volume of the Earth=(4/3)π(20908800 ft)³=(4/3)9.1408*10²¹π ft³

2) we calculate the volume of a ping-pong ball at miles

V=(4/3)π(0.7441 in)³=(4/3)0.412π in³

3)we calculate how many times larger is the volume of the Earh tan the volume of a ping-pòng ball.

(4/3)0.412π in³------------------------ a ping-pong ball.
(4/3)9.1408*10²¹π ft³--------------         x

x=(4/3)9.1408*10²¹π ft³* volume of a ping-pong ball) /(4/3)0.412π in³)=
=2.21865*10²²  ping-pong balls.

Answer: The volume of the Earth is  2.21865*10²²  times larger than  the volume of a ping-pong ball.

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are stationary and are separated by a distance much larger t
podryga [215]

Answer:

8F_i = 3F_f

Explanation:

When two identical spheres are touched to each other, they equally share the total charge. Therefore, When neutral C is first touch to A, they share the initial charge of A equally.

Let us denote that the initial charge of A and B are Q. Then after C is touched to A, their respective charges are Q/2.

Then, C is touched to B, and they share the total charge of Q + Q/2 = 3Q/2. Their respective charges afterwards is 3Q/4 each.

The electrostatic force, Fi, in the initial configuration can be calculated as follows.

F_i = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_Aq_B}{r^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q^2}{r^2}[/tex}The electrostatic force, Ff, in the final configuration is [tex]F_f = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_Aq_B}{r^2} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{3Q^2/8}{r^2}[/tex}Therefore, the relation between Fi and Ff is as follows[tex]F_i = F_f\frac{3}{8}\\8F_i = 3F_f

You carry a 5 kg sack of potatoes across the store for 5 minutes, and you wait in line holding it for 30 seconds before you get
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The only work done is when the person lifts the sack over a distance, W = 78.48 [N]

Explanation:

We have to remember the definition of work, which tells us that work is the result of a force by a distance, we must apply this concept in each of the movements of the person in the problem described.

W = F * d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

The force is given by the producto of the mass by the gravity.

F = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 [N]

W = 49.05 * 1.6 = 78.48 [N]

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the ma
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

External force on him will be 112 N

Explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter a=1.6m/sec^2

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So F=70\times 1.6=112 N

So external force will be 112 N
