Physics

Setler [38]4 years ago

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.  The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth!  The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

The equivalent gravitational force is ~

  • F  \approx1.48\times 10 {}^{ - 7}  \: \: N

\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}

We know that ~

\huge\boxed{\mathrm{F = \dfrac{ Gm_1m_2}{ r²}}}

where,

  • F = gravitational force

  • m_1 = mass of 1st object = 500 kg

  • m_2 = mass of 2nd object = 20kg

  • G = gravitational constant = 6.674 × {10}^ {-11}

  • r = distance between the objects = 2.12 m

Let's calculate the force ~

  • F = \dfrac{6.674   \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 500 \times 20}{(2.12) {}^{2} }

  • F = \dfrac{6.674  \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 10 {}^{4} }{4.4944}

  • F =  \dfrac{6.674}{4.4944}  \times 10 {}^{ - 7}

  • F =1.484 \times 10 {}^{ - 7}  \: \: newtons

PLEASE PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION.<br><br> THANKS!!!
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.0800 m, λ = 20.9 m, f = 11.9 Hz

(b) 250 m/s

(c) 1250 N

(d) Positive x-direction

(e) 6.00 m/s

(f) 0.0365 m

Explanation:

(a) The standard form of the wave is:

y = A cos ((2πf) t ± (2π/λ) x)

where A is the amplitude, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

If the x term has a positive coefficient, the wave moves to the left.

If the x term has a negative coefficient, the wave moves to the right.

Therefore:

A = 0.0800 m

2π/λ = 0.300 m⁻¹

λ = 20.9 m

2πf = 75.0 rad/s

f = 11.9 Hz

(b) Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf

v = (20.9 m) (11.9 Hz)

v = 250 m/s

(c) The tension is:

T = v²ρ

where ρ is the mass per unit length.

T = (250 m/s)² (0.0200 kg/m)

T = 1250 N

(d) The x term has a negative coefficient, so the wave moves to the right (positive x-direction).

(e) The maximum transverse speed is Aω.

(0.0800 m) (75.0 rad/s)

6.00 m/s

(f) Plug in the values and find y.

y = (0.0800 m) cos((75.0 rad/s) (2.00 s) − (0.300 m⁻¹) (1.00 m))

y = 0.0365 m

1. A rock of granite has a mass of 50 kg. if it’s weight in water
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The first part of the question is asking about BUOYANT FORCE or UPTHRUST.

Upthrust =TRUE WEIGHT-APPARENT WEIGHT

TRUE WEIGHT=mg

TRUE weight=50kg×10m/s²

=500N

upthrust=500N-380N

FB=120N

volume of the rock=mass/density.

since the granite is completely submerged, the volume of the displaced liquid will be equal to the volume of the body.

upthrust=Vdg

120N=V×1000kg/m³×10m/s²

120N=V×10000kg/m²s²

120/10000=V

v=0.012m³

please mark brainliest, hope it helped
