Answers:

a) 2.82(10)^{21} kg

b) 1410 J

c) 36.62 m/s

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density \rho  is defined as a relation between mass m and volume V:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

\rho=2720 kg/m^{3} is the average density of the continent

m is the mass of the continent

V 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:

V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}

Finding the mass:

m=\rho V (2)

m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}) (3)

m=2.82(10)^{21} kg (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy K is given by the following equation:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} (5)

Where:

m=2.82(10)^{21} kg is the mass of the continent

v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s is the velocity of the continent

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2} (6)

K=1410 J (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass m=77 kg and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent 1413 J, we can find its velocity by isolating v from (5):

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}} (6)

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}

Finally:

v=36.62 m/s This is the speed of the jogger

Which one of the following is a measurement of energy used?
Leokris [45]

The correct answer to the question is D) 6 joules.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, four measurements are given i.e 24 m/s, 60 mg, 15 L and 6 J.

We are asked to determine the measurement which corresponds to energy.

Energy is measured in various units like joule, erg, electron volt etc.

Joule is the unit of energy in S.I system.

Hence, the correct measurement which corresponds to energy is 6 joules.

All other measurements like 24 m/s, 60 mg and 15 L are not the measurements of energy. These are the measurements of speed, mass and volume respectively.

4. Johnny exerts a 3.55 N rightward force on a 0.200-kg box to accelerate it across a low-friction track. If the total resistanc
Anon25 [30]

a) 15.2 m/s^2

b) 1.96 N

c) 1.96 N

Explanation:

a)

To find the box's acceleration, we have to find first the net force acting on the box in the horizontal direction.

We have:

- The forward force of 3.55 N

- The backward, resistive force of 0.52 N

So, the net force forward is

\sum F=3.55-0.52=3.03 N

Now we can find the acceleration by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

\sum F=ma

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

And solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{3.03}{0.200}=15.2 m/s^2

b)

The gravitational force on an object is the force with which the object is pulled towards the ground by the Earth.

It is given by

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational field strength

In this problem we have

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational field strength

So, the gravitational force on the box is

W=(0.200)(9.8)=1.96 N

c)

The normal force is the reaction force exerted by the floor on the box, in the upward direction.

In order to find the magnitude of this force, we apply Newton's second law of motion along the vertical direction.

We have two forces in this direction:

- The gravitational force, W, downward

- The normal force, N, upward

So the net force is

\sum F=N-W

According to Newton's second law,

\sum F=ma

However, the box is at rest in the vertical direction, so the vertical acceleration is zero:

a=0

This means that the net force is zero:

\sum F=0

And so, we can find the normal force:

N-W=0\\N=W=1.96 N
