Answer:

0.018 km³

Explanation:

Area of land

A=72\times 10^4\ m^2

D = Depth of land = 25 m

Volume is given by

V=AD\\\Rightarrow V=72\times 10^4\times 25\\\Rightarrow V=18000000\ m^3

Converting to cubic kilometers

1\ m=\dfrac{1}{1000}\ km

1\ m^3=\dfrac{1}{1000^3}\ km^3

18000000\ m^3=18000000\times \dfrac{1}{1000^3}=0.018\ km^3

The volume of Earth removed is 0.018 km³

A 2 kg ball of clay moving at 35 m/s strikes a 10 kg box initially at rest. What is the velocity of the box after the collision?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

V = 5.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball of a clay, m = 2 kg

Initial speed of the clay, u = 35 m/s

Mass of a box, m' = 10 kg

Initially, the box was at rest, u' = 0

We need to find the velocity of the box after the collision. Let V be the common speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it.

mu+m'u'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{mu+m'u'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{2\times 35+10\times 0}{2+10}\\\\V=5.83\ m/s

So, the velocity of the box after the collision is equal to 5.83 m/s.

A baseball is struck home plate and acquires a speed of 60m/s. It rises to a height of 100.0 m above its starting level. Find it
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

40 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 60 m/s

Height (h) = 100 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Final velocity (v) =?

The velocity at height 100 m can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

v² = 60² – (2 × 10 × 100)

v² = 3600 – 2000

v² = 1600

Take the square root of both side

v = √1600

v = 40 m/s

Thus, velocity at height 100 m is 40 m/s

Explain how the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and the sun changes as the earth moves from position 'A'
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are not told where A and B are, but I'll assume that they are two points on the orbit of earth about the sun.

As that orbit is an ellipse, the two points likely do not have the same distance between the earth and sun.

As gravity varies with the inverse of the square of the distance (F = GMm/d²), the force at the closer distance will be greater than the force at the longer distance.
