Explanation:
<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>
Density
is defined as a relation between mass
and volume
:
(1)
Where:
is the average density of the continent
is the mass of the continent
is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

Finding the mass:
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the mass of the continent
<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>
Kinetic energy
is given by the following equation:
(5)
Where:
is the mass of the continent
is the velocity of the continent
(6)
(7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent
<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>
If we have a jogger with mass
and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent
, we can find its velocity by isolating
from (5):
(6)
Finally:
This is the speed of the jogger
Answer:
In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.
Question:
The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.
Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
Answer:
The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³
Explanation:
Here, we have mass density of cloud = 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3
Density = Mass/Volume
Volume = Mass/Density = If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have
28 kg water = 28000 g
Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
Answer: Because of the longitudinal motion of the air particles, there are regions in the air where the air particles are compressed together and other regions where the air particles are spread apart. These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively
