Both answers are true. Things like basic quantum mechanics helped us better our technology like iPhones. And the second option explains itself. We get to understand the universe better and predict phenomena when we learn more about any Physical Science

The earth rotates about its pole once every 24 hrs. The distance from the pole to a location on the Earth is 35* north latitude

Oksana_A [137]

The angular velocity, ω=
2π/t; t = 24 hrs = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400 s
ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵
v = ωr
= 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 3242.8 x 1.6 x 1000 (converting miles to meters)
= 377.2 m/s

How long does it take for light to travel from the sun to earth?

Eddi Din [679]

It's about 6 minutes, as I seem to recall. Sort of the time for the earth to go into shadow darkness when there's an eclipse ???

A 1200-kg car moving at 15.6 m/s suddenly collides with a stationary car of mass 1500 kg. if the two vehicles lock together, wha

g100num [7]

Use conservation of momentum ;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

1200×15.6 + 0 = 2700v

v = 18720/2700

v = 6.933 or ~ 7 m/s

The current theory of the structure of the

IRISSAK [1]

1) The mass of the continent is $3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 624 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 4 m/s

Explanation:

1)

We start by finding the volume of the continent. We have:

$L = 5850 km = 5.85\cdot 10^6 m$ is the side

$t = 35 km = 3.5\cdot 10^4 m$ is the depth

So the volume is

$V=L^2 t = (5.85\cdot 10^6)^2 (3.5\cdot 10^4)=1.20\cdot 10^{18} m^3$

We also know that its density is

$d=2750 kg/m^3$

Therefore, we can find the mass by multiplying volume by density:

$m=dV=(2750)(1.20\cdot 10^{18})=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$

2)

The kinetic energy of the continent is given by:

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

where

$m=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$ is its mass

v = 3.2 cm/year is the speed

We have to convert the speed into m/s. We have:

3.2 cm = 0.032 m

$1 year = 1(365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s$

So, the speed is:

$v=\frac{0.032 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=1.02\cdot 10^{-9} m/s$

So, we can now find the kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(1.20\cdot 10^{21})(1.02\cdot 10^{-9})^2=624 J$

3)

Here we have a jogger of mass

m = 78 kg

And the jogger has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 624 J

The kinetic energy of the jogger is given by

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

where v is the speed of the jogger.

Solving for v, we find the speed that the jogger must have:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(624)}{78}}=4 m/s$
