Find a numerical value for rhoearth, the average density of the earth in kilograms per cubic meter. Use 6378km for the radius of

mylen [45]

Answer:

density = 5520 kg/m^3

Explanation:

given that

radius of earth = 6378 km

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/kg.s²

g = 9.80 m/s²

we know,

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}$

mass of earth

$M = \dfrac{gr^2}{G}$

$M = \dfrac{9.8 \times (6378 \times 10^3)^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$

M = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

density = $\dfrac{mass}{volume}$

V = volume of the earth = 4/3πr³

V = 4/3 x 3.14 x (6378 x 10³)³

V = 1.08 x 10²¹ m³

density = $\dfrac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{1.08\times 10^{21}}$

density = 5.52 x 10³ kg/m^3

density = 5520 kg/m^3

An alpha particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 x 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) v = 1.075*10^7 m/s

b) FB = 7.57*10^-12 N

c) r = 10.1 cm

Explanation:

(a) To find the speed of the alpha particle you use the following formula for the kinetic energy:

$K=qV$ (1)

q: charge of the particle = 2e = 2(1.6*10^-19 C) = 3.2*10^-19 C

V: potential difference = 1.2*10^6 V

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$K=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.2*10^6V)=3.84*10^{-13}J$

The kinetic energy of the particle is also:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (2)

m: mass of the particle = 6.64*10^⁻27 kg

You solve the last equation for v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.84*10^{-13}J)}{6.64*10^{-27}kg}}\\\\v=1.075*10^7\frac{m}{s}$

the sped of the alpha particle is 1.075*10^6 m/s

b) The magnetic force on the particle is given by:

$|F_B|=qvBsin(\theta)$

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 2.2 T

The direction of the motion of the particle is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Then sinθ = 1

$|F_B|=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.075*10^6m/s)(2.2T)=7.57*10^{-12}N$

the force exerted by the magnetic field on the particle is 7.57*10^-12 N

c) The particle describes a circumference with a radius given by:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{(6.64*10^{-27}kg)(1.075*10^7m/s)}{(3.2*10^{-19}C)(2.2T)}\\\\r=0.101m=10.1cm$

the radius of the trajectory of the electron is 10.1 cm

Why does Energy appear continuous in everyday life?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. For example, turning on a light would seem to produce energy; however, it is electrical energy that is converted. Nothing happens to the energy. It does not change form, since energy has no form. ... If the energy was moving, it gets stored or re-transmitted elsewhere. Using energy means controlling its movement, rather than consuming it.
